Fuel filter

Post by Billathome65 »

Ok guys I like to change out old parts on cars i just acquired. So the question is where is the fuel filter on the C£ SX 1.4? Is it under the car near the tank or hidden in the depths of the engine bay? and what part number is it if anyone knows?

Cheers lads

Is it a petrol one? It may well not have a fuel filter....post up the last 8 digits of the VIN and I'll check.

As Richard has said, if its petrol its possible it may not have one. Diesel engine will certainly have one. :D They started to delete their inline petrol filter fitment about 2005 (give or take a year?) , and just rely on the 'in tank' mesh filter affair.

In countries where PSA class it as "low / poor quality fuel" these ones *do* have the filter.

I think the pipework is slightly different so its not possible to retro-fit the filter unless you replace the pipework.

Similar with the later manual gearbox's, some do not have a level plug anymore ( ! ) you have to drain and then refill via the top with the correct amount. Interesting very early (BE units at least) did not have a level plug, then they did for about 15 years then they decided to not have one anymore. hmm. :)

Vin as indicated via Richard would be the way to be sure.
