  • In this video I show how to replace the fuel filter on a ford focus 1.6 diesel.
    This engine is fitted to a wide range of vehicles inc Peugeot and the Volvo v40
    It is essential to bleed the fuel system after fitting a new filter, I show how to complete this process.

    That was a really great video. I've just changed the filter on my 61 reg 1.6 following this vid. Great tips and info. The biggest problem I had was getting the little white clips to release the pipes. Fiddly. Took me ages. Got her all primed and started a treat. But thank you and you've gained another subscriber 👍

    Many many thanks for uploading this! Following your instructions, I was able to successfully replace and prime the diesel filter on my 2012 Mondeo mk4 1.6L TDCi (BA7, engine type T1BB) with zero problems starting and driving the car afterwards.
    In my particular scenario, the metal filter housing has a plastic notchy piece fitted on its bottom, and the piece from the old filter was stuck in the mounting "cup" when I took the filter out. So, for anyone with a matching filter type reading this, make sure you get the old piece out of there before attempting to insert the new filter. Also, the new filter came with an o-ring for the drain plug which I assume they intend for us to replace as well (although the old one appeared to be in perfect shape in my case). The new o-ring was a tight fit, but with a bit of fiddling I managed to slip it on by hand. Otherwise same procedure as with the Focus featured in this video.

    Superb video, I used this today to change my fuel filter. The amount of black gunk that came out was unreal. One little extra tip, the hose at the back has 2 clips, I found they needed to be removed entirely to get the hose off. I also bought a length of 8mm fuel hose and a priming pump from local car spares shop. Only 17 quid. Did the job perfectly.
    Thank you so much man, this was awesome!! Great job

    Fantastic took me ages to find an excellent tutorial like this. Now I can do my own and know it's done. Had it done recently by a Ford dealer and couldn't help notice how dusty the unit still was. Must have been an exceptional mechanic not to spill any diesel, so obviously, they did not have to clean housing. Or am I just distrustful and rightly so. Keep up the excellent tutorials. Ken Dublin

    Thank you so much. This video was very helpful. A couple of additional comments. For the primer pump, a inner diameter of 8 mm is fine. Please note that most of the hoses that are delivered do not measure 8 mm, but less. And then it won't fit.
    1 liter of diesel will be sufficient to carry out this job.
    Please note that probably the little rubber ring that was connected to the bottom side of the old filter, could get stuck in the metal housing. Then you'll need to get it out by using some tool.

    I had this engine and filter in my old Mazda 3, I used to attach the primer pump to the outlet nozzle of the filter so it would suck the diesel from the tank to fill the filter and put the other end of the hose (clear) in an empty jug watching for bubbles, then reconnect. Have to say, my way is much less messy. Anyway, just a suggestion

      ​That is also what I wanted to comment, I also do it this way and this does not require any diesel as it primes directly from the tank and also ensures that there's no air in the inlet pipe. @@aaanton11 This should be pinned as top comment as it saves from having to buy or siphon diesel from the tank.

      So is the only difference here that in the video, the primer pump was attached to the inlet and the other end sucking in diesel…whereas with the easier method, the primer pump should be attached to the outlet and the other end should just be pointed into a jug where the diesel would go and once it has no bubbles it’s been bled? So this means that when it’s sucking diesel from the tank by attaching to the outlet, it’s also filling up the filter at the same time? Does anything have to be connected to the inlet using this method? And can the inlet be connected up whilst the filter is being filled through the outlet or can that only be connected once the filter is full of diesel and free of air? I’m just looking to clarify things as I don’t want to get this wrong. Thanks

    Hi Anton, I have just started watching your videos and they are very helpful and clear to watch I must say.
    As you say it can be a whole load of trouble if there is air in the fuel system.
    You have bleed the filter of air but if there was air else where in the system could it be bleed if the car cannot be started. If so where can air be bleed from and would this hand pump do or is there other tools required. many thanks for a reply.
    Keep up the good work.

      you can just connect the hand primer pump inline and pump whilst cranking over the engine, this will force the air around the system and out.Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

    I always have a primer pump and jam jar which I keep in the spare wheel well of my Focus diesel just in case. I once had a very, very occasional problem with air leaking into the fuel lines and draining back into the tank overnight; it happened a couple of times a year. It turned out to be the top of the fuel filter wasn't properly screwed down. The slightly negative pressure in the fuel feed was, presumably, enough for atmospheric pressure to hold it down but sometimes it was not enough when stopped.
    However, I do not use a jug of diesel, I just use the pump to pull it through from the fuel tank. The jam jar takes the overflow, and I can put the lid back on to transport it without spilling.

      Whats happening with that issue? Does air gets out by self? My mechanic changed fuel filter, and since then when the car is cold, I have problem with accelerating for 1 min, it cutting speed, like fuel stops comming in for 1s then come, and over again. After 1 min when car is warm, everything is great, also in idle alwyas runs great. No errors, injectors are repaired.

      ​@@iamone2534 there could be some air trapped in the fuel line.
      Have you tried doing a reset?
      Turn the key in the ignition to the second position for 30 seconds.
      Then turn it to the off position for 30 seconds.
      Then remove the key, and start to car, it may take a few attempts.
      But this resets the system.
      Hope it helps.

    I'm glad I watched your very informative video before I started on my 2013 1.6 Grand C-Max which has an identical layout to the focus (although a little harder to get at due to over hanging bodywork.) The instructions for priming were spot on. Something I may not have thought about. The pump I bought had hoses that fitted the fuel line exactly so I was able to pump fuel from the tank into the filter without using your jug method then on to force fuel around the system by reconnecting the filter outlet pipe and continued pumping till I could not hear any bubbles. Worked a treat. I'd like to post a video of my own about the problems that led to me having to change the filter. Have you any objections to me linking to your video as a good example of how to change the filter. Thanks very much.

    1.) What would have to be done in case the engine will not be able to start due to air in engine?
    2.) I have the keyless-go system would (in case there is air inside the engine) it be even harder to fix, as you cannot turn the key around?
