C5 II fuel filter?

Post by VertVega »

Is there a fuel filter in C5 II Petrol? If there is one, where is the location?

I changed cabin filter and air filter today but couldn't find/see fuel filter under the car.
I checked about the same area as in Xantia, front of rear tire.

Go to GSF and type in your reg number, then click on fuel filter. Cant help with the location though, the xsara was in the same place as the xantia, but would imagine yours should be near the tank also.

If there is only a single pipe (no return) going to the fuel rail then there is no external filter, only the strainer in the tank.

Lifted the car to the high position and checked thoroughly with a torch but no traces of a filter.

Yes there is only one fuel pipe connecting the fuel rail right in the middle and next to it a cap which seems to be used for air bleed.

Conclusion: My C5 doesn't have a fuel filter, except the strainer in the tank :)
Thanks for the tips.
