What are these plugs?

Unread post by Smerff »

I just hot this 2010 Citroen Relay, it was running like a bag of scrap metal. I replaced all injectors and now it runs mint. I am doing fluid changes and see the fuel filter is modified and has 3 plugs that I'm not sure what they do. I have check engine light on so maybe somethings are unplugged. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

The one on the top of the filter most likely a fuel heater
The one on the bottom most likely a water in fuel sensor
not sure about the black one

Thanks for replying. Should these have plugs to plug in or does the filter look like it's from another vehicle?

It may also be possible that (on your vehicle) those plugs are unused. Manufacturers won't have a different wiring loom for each model in their range for cost reasons, and those plugs might be for a model with a higher specification than yours.

They might even be from a replacement fuel filter housing that was intended for a different market (eg for a vehicle sold in the Nordic circle v. one sold into the UK)
