Thread: Td6 Fuel Filter

It's a straightforward job and the ignition can best be off.

Jc☺

I change mine every 12 months or 20k. We have pretty good fuel sources locally and you can't be too careful with common rail systems.

Thanks ,

sounds good to me .

While your there , do you think the trans filter should be the same or is that too often .

Have no intent to tow much with it i use the ever reliable RRC for towing usually .

Thanks , still a bit wary of it .

40k intervals for trans is fine. I use a penrite full synthetic and change it at 20k because i can, and i sometimes tow 3t, and it is remapped😎

It won't need doing yet mate, I put a brand new one in there the week before you picked it up.

And it won't throw a fault code - the plug going to it is for the WIF - normally open so pulling it off keeps it in the same state as when it's in normal service.

I Changed my last week with the battery connected. RAVE says to disconnect it, but this is purely for workshop safety reasons, like sparks when working on fuel systems, but that is very unlikely as diesel doesn't explode like petrol,

Thanks Gav ,

just wasn`t sure what kms people changed them .

Not long changed the engine oil and filter and filter socket you gave me made it easy also checked the breather thing for piece of mind and it`s all nice and clean looking in there .

Replaced the air filter ( mahle $17.24 ) though it barely needed it , probably could have blown it out but i`ve come across a place in the UK that sells service stuff at about a quarter or less of what things cost here , not for every thing but alot , like mahle oil filter for 3.39 UK around $5.50 AU same thing here is around $25 AU and bearmach stuff is less again and even with the cost of air it works for me .

Not holding my tongue the right way to reset the service thing but i`ll get there . I think it`s just a matter of following the instructions properly which i`m not but it`s not a concern .

Cheers
