Hi can anyone tell me how to change the fuel filter on a 2.0 HDI c5 please.

had a look and am not to sure on the procedure on how to open the pot to change the filter.

Many thanks

If it is like mine, with a locking ring around the top,

I use a pair of oil filter pliers to shift it after disconnecting the hoses.



I usually remove the bowl and make sure it is clean too - the lift pump can generate some swarf as it starts to break down which will destroy the diesel pump if it gets into it.
I did have a few flakes of gold-coloured swarf in the previous C5 that fortunately came to nothing, perhaps because I cleaned the swarf out prior to fitting a new filter.

Mines different but thanks for your input.

IF you put the Age/engine of your C5 in your Signature, then it will stop people guessing what you have.

The best bet is post the Vin number....

You can also join Citroen Service to check part numbers and parts prices.

Is it like this one? If so remove the fuel pipes by pressing down on the white tabs. Also the connector. Use a close fitting socket to unscrew the lid and use a new rubber ring.

• At the very top right hand corner of this page, you will see your user name.
• Click on the little triangle to the right of that, and select "User Control Panel" in the drop-down menu.
• About 1/3 of the way down that page you will see a tab labeled "Overview", click the tab to the right of this which just has 3 bars on it, then select "Profile" in the drop-down menu.

There you can change the profile settings that you gave when you joined the forum, and update "My Cars", "Location" etc.
