Re: diesel fuel filters
Haven't the foggiest personally but I change mine at the same time as the oil, oil filter and air filter. Change the cabin (pollen) filter every second or third time.
Every six months-ish.

Re: diesel fuel filters
Most are now 3 years or or 36k ish to be exact im not sure on a 2.2.
However this does seem a lot and i suspect most owner mechanics change them every year or second year.

Re: diesel fuel filters
I just change mine every 12500 miles when I do an oil change, for the cost of the filter, it's hardly worth not doing. 2.0 8V 90BHP HDi by the way...

Re: diesel fuel filters
If your fuel filter is the same as mine, the locking ring can be a challenge to release and re-tighten.
Previous C5 was no bother, just a tap with a small hammer, piece of wood interspersed to avoid cracking it (fatal and common).
Bought one of these oil filter pliers and it works a treat.

Re: diesel fuel filters
I had to change the ones on my CXs every 20,000 otherwise the engine would eventually stop but the 25,000 mentioned by Lighty would seem reasonable.
