1.8 Petrol 2001 Fuel filter

Post by ncc1709 »

Hi all.
I have the 406 1.8 petrol, 2001,
and I cannot find the fuel filter to change it.
the Haynes manual shows where is should be, and theres a gap there, but the pipes don't go anywhere near it.
I've traced the pipes all the way to the bottom of the engine bay and lose it there, and cannot see anything that resembles the fuel filter in the bay.
engine variant is 8B6FZ

anyone know where it is?
many thanks

Using the vin from another (8B - 406 saloon) 6FZ (build code 09158 - 12/2001) in the parts catalogue it brings up a diagram similar to this: http://peugeot406coupe.nl/catalogus/D9G/1/15E11A.HTM However there is no part number for the filter, which usually means it ain't got one :shock: Some don't, so if you can't find it don't take your car completely to bits looking :wink:

oh... we that sort of messes me over as that was the last idea to get rid of the antipollution error :(

ive had the error for over a year. the local garage put a fault finder on it and it came back clear :S
so ive been slowly changing anything that comes up as a possible issue.
guess I need to make a separate post for it
