Diesel filter - Willo - 08-04-2013
How do I change this as mine is due a service
RE: Diesel filter - Marcus1991 - 08-04-2013
Take off the 4 allen bolts on the top of the housing, take the filter out. Suck the diesel out the housing, and clean any crap inside the housing you might have, put a new filter and seal in and put the lid back on. Use the hand primer and squeeze until it goes hard, crank the engine a few times, it will start and your done.

Dont forget hes non turbo!
Only seen one on a 206 so cant help.
So easy tho, big black thing in front of you, open it up swap filters
Prime either with bulb or a button (206) and start
RE: Diesel filter - Willo - 08-04-2013
Simple as that does a new seal come with a new filter ?

Should have mentioned that its a NAD sorry
RE: Diesel filter - Marcus1991 - 08-04-2013
i changed one on a N/A 405 the other day and its the same as my dturbo, and yes a new seal comes with the new filter.
RE: Diesel filter - Willo - 08-04-2013
Cool what's best way to suck the diesel out
RE: Diesel filter - Oil-burner - 08-04-2013
Fair doos, the 206 one is quite wierd.
It may be different tho as its a ph3.
Suck the diesel out of what? Lol
RE: Diesel filter - Willo - 08-04-2013
The housing
RE: Diesel filter - Marcus1991 - 08-04-2013
I just use a massive Syringe lol. its not essential to get the diesel out and clean the inside, but its just good practice to do so.
RE: Diesel filter - Oil-burner - 08-04-2013
Theres a bleed nipple on the bottom of the housing
RE: Diesel filter - Willo - 08-04-2013
Cool so in theory it's a 5 min job then thanks guys

never knew that!
RE: Diesel filter - Oil-burner - 08-04-2013
Its usually got an open ended clear pipe coming from it but sometimes they get lost etc
RE: Diesel filter - Mattcheese31 - 09-04-2013
i don't drain the housing, takes longer to fill up if you do . .

Do you just pull the old filter out and put the new one in then ??
RE: Diesel filter - Toms306 - 09-04-2013
Yeah I dont bother draining the housing either, theres over a quids worth of diesel in there!
RE: Diesel filter - Willo - 09-04-2013
So how do you do it Tom
RE: Diesel filter - Toms306 - 09-04-2013
Just take the lid off, pull the old filter out, and put the new one in...trying not to drip deisel everywhere.
RE: Diesel filter - Willo - 09-04-2013
You had any problems doing it this way
RE: Diesel filter - sweeney1987 - 09-04-2013
Shouldnt be any problems, diesel comes up through top of housing iirc so any bits that may be there shouldn't get sucked up anyway.
RE: Diesel filter - Marcus1991 - 09-04-2013
Only reason why i drain mine out is because when i had a Lucas pump, i found small metal filings in the bottom of the housing. (pump breaking down gradually) I've now converted mine to Bosch and i don't find metal fillings, but i still do it out of habit anyway
RE: Diesel filter - Piggy - 09-04-2013
yeah tiz bit of a waste of fuel to empty completely...worth draining a few ml though as its officially a water drain I believe, to drain off any H2o in the housing

yep, take it out, tip the fuel back into the housing and then plonk new filter in .
RE: Diesel filter - ozonehostile - 09-04-2013
wrap a cloth around the filter housing before you take the top off, prevents diesel spilling all over the starter motor

What happens if you get diesel on the clutch? will it dry out eventually?

how did the metal filings go full circle from the pump all the way through fuel system tank n back to filter??

Make sure you don't snap the allen bolts like I did 'just once more around with a little nip make sure their fine' then snap.
