Fuel filter location?

Post by JIMBOB326 »

Ive just got a filter kit for my 406 GLX but am not really sure where the fuel filter is located. Its a paper sort of one so id imagine it would be under the bonnet somewhere and not underneath like the metallic ones.

ithink hes got a Hdi 90 :roll:

if so thatd be the small filter, filter housing is located front of engine, remove engine cover and you shouid see it
you just tap the locking ring round to release it after popping off the pipes

I was selling my silver one but have ended up getting another one with only 97000 miles on the clock and full service history. Lovely beige interior and drives perfect. Only paid £850 and only needs a couple of cosmetic jobs doing, boot seal being one of them! Ill get some pics up soon so you guys can give it a good once over.
