Fuel filters (TDI)

lightyears · Jun 6th, 2022, 14:42

Does anyone know if Volvo used different designs for the under bonnet fuel filter on the TDI? mine looks nothing like the reference that keeps appearing (one with a bolt in the middle).

it looks like this, could anyone help me out with a part number

Filters are exactly the same on all flavours of tdi.
The pipe arrangement is different on the 99 and 00 model years.
Inside that is a metal canister which is the actual filter.
The part your seeing is just the filter holder.

Are you planning on changing it yourself?

Yes, see no reason why not, I was more concerned about buy the wrong part.

Do you know how? It’s genuinely not a trick question as there are a few tricks to this job.

I’ve done plenty of fuel filters before, I am however open to any tips or advice relative to this model, I understand it’s very important to fill the filter before putting the new one on etc. do enlighten me 😀
