Willie Krashitt Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Hi, Simple answer is I don't think you do - it comes as a sealed filter and housing assembly. Haven't got access to the full knowledge until back at work tomorrow. Will check and update then. George. Quote
Willie Krashitt Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Correction - The one piece filter and housing assembly is for 1.6 not the 1.8 or 2.0L. For the 1.8, there is a knurled ring that unscrews anti clockwise while the top stays in line with the base. For the 2.0L you remove the complete housing from the vehicle, then the top part (with the pipe fittings on) unscrews in an anti clockwise direction from the base.Filter element then lifts out / pulls straight down, and new one drops in / pushes on. I should add that you will need a hand pump to fill the filter - dont rely on cranking will do it - it can screw up the fuel pump if it runs dry for too long, also that cleanliness is absolutely vital. Give the filter and pipework a good clean before you remove them, and blank off the pipes and fittings while you are working on it.Hope that this helps. George. Quote
