D5 fuel filter change
Successfully completed fuel filter change-just a few points I noted which may be useful for other novices like myself:
1-located near rear right(in front of wheel)-black plastic with small drain plug containing paper filter insert. 2-Drained more than 5 litres(caught in clean container) of diesel -fuel tank was just under half full-at one stage thought it would never stop draining. 3-Used laser fuel filter removal tool ( approx. £18 from recollection )-despite using this still tight! 4-Pull old filter out (coopersfiaam)-new filter insert (bosch) required reasonable force until it clicked into place-I used some fresh engine oil to coat new rubber o rings supplied-carefully tightened housing . 5-turned ignition on for 30 sec(without starting) then off 10 seconds then repeated three times again-started without hesitation 6-checked for leaks all fine. Hope it helps-would be very careful trying this without laser or equivalent tool as I suspect it would be tricky ! Good luck |

Is that the tool with 6 cut-outs that fit the filter housing ?

Did mine this morning on the XC60. 32mm ring spanner works well. 18mm on the drain point. A small tube on the drain would be useful if anyone had some as it will save a bit of dribble and mess. Don't over tighten either. The gaskets are there to do the sealing and don't need much force. I wouldn't want to split the housing and have to change it in that restricted location.
As soon as somewhere it's open to get a filter I'll do my XC70. Last edited by XC70Virgin; Apr 5th, 2020 at 14:45. |

Did mine yesterday on an 07 xc90
I ordered the removal tool from eBay , but the delivery was late, I got impatient so I used a big pair of plumbers grips to remove Opened drain off first, 400ml came out, removed filter, renewed , new seal , refitted housing 4/10 for difficulty , 15 mins work |

Won't a 32mm ring spanner or socket do the job, as opposed to a 'special tool'?

After seeing 32mm socket mentioned in this thread I did not have a clue why because it would be useless on every D5 fuel filter housing that I have had dealings with. All is revealed after a quick search on Ebay used parts.😊 The early plastic hosing has no 32mm nut on the bottom, only a drain screw. The later plastic housing has a very convenient 32mm hex moulded into the bottom/ I have the proper tool for removing these and I think even the one with the 32mm socket would probably be at less risk of breaking by using the tool but is definitely a better design than the early one and gives another removal option . They are always incredibly tight when you come to undo them.

Hi guys,
I did my D5 fuel filter yesterday, when replacing i smear some vasaline on filter cartridge small o-ring, it then pushes in nicely. As for cartridge screw on cover, i use brake cleaner to wash it out and the threaded part clean well, then smear vasaline into threads and around o-ring as it can be dry. screws on lovely and smooth no force needed just nip up gently on last turn, remember it's all plastic. By the way i use oil filter rubber strap type removal/replace tool. Regards Alan & Nicola |

Great top tips Big Al. Vaseline is wonderful for sealing in this type of situation; I replaced my filter with an aftermarket one and it leaked so resorted to original Volvo part and no leaks. The filter is fine but the rubber O ring would not seal - perhaps vaseline might have fixed it?
