Re: fuel filter change help
Is it on the right way? Fuel can only flow through one way
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: fuel filter change help
the one in the engine bay ?
anyway crisis averted, the large seal on the top section of the assembly, the assembly with the heater element connector and the temp sensor connector,, the large seal on that wasnt sitting in its recess, so wasnt sealing properly i guess allowing air in.. again a guess.. anyway cleaned the seal up and managed to get it to sit in its recess with some jiggery pokery while i tightened the new filter up.. seems to have sealed ok now, and car runs fine.. just been for a blast up the A1 and seems ok
thanks for the reply anyway johnny
