Good video ! For those asking about priming the new filter i used a syringe and filled until fuel was visible at the top of all 3 holes. It takes a while but slow filling reduces airlocks you will see air bubbles coming out and will prevent problems.You can do this on your workbench then use the little plugs that came with the new filter to block the holes whilst you re fit it.
Cheers, good idea. I'm just about to do mine, here goes nothing.
How did you get on?@@alpacamybag9103
Just fully service my 2006 T230LX LWB. (4/5/19) Included in service was to renew fuel filter My filter, same, 3 nozzle, as one shown, had three clip types the same as red one in video; not press type. All you do to remove these clips is to pinch the two claws from the rear and push them undone.
Don't bother to undo clamp screw; rather when the pipes are off and clear just lift filter out as it is only slotted in; when out note position on filter, undo clamp and replace on new filter the same way.
Really good idea to fill up filter with diesel before refitting; my engine started straight up after as with usual start.
Whole job is just minutes.
This comment is for the feul filter change on the Ford van .Thank you very much .You explained the process well and made it easy to comprehend. I am trouble shooting this vehicle and am looking forward to your expertise, Paul Eckhardt , KEY WEST FLORIDA.
Clear, concise and confidence making. Thank you
Thank you
Hi! I'm not sure if you still checking the comments for this, or anyone else will read this.
When you said we can use a thin funnel, which whole we have to fill in? Also is that a problem if there is a little air goes on still as this method is not that effective as you using a primer tool?
Thanks for uploading the video✌️
Did you change it
Litlle tip, its alot easier to take out the filter with the holder and then un screw as its not much space in those connect vans. But thumbs up for tutoral.
Spent an hour replacing mine for the first time. Nightmare then at the last minute by accident it popped out I thought I'd broke it. Ffs
This is a good video. I forgot to fill up the filter. The engine did not start, even after a lot of trying. Had to take it off again to fill it up. Strange cause on my fiesta diesel I didn't do it either and it worked perfect. Anyway I had better watched this vid before doing the job :-)
Maybe a stupid question... but do you fill up through inlet or outlet. Many thanks to someone who can help 👍
Doesn't matter. Fill it until fuel is visible at the top of every pipe.
nice one fella you make it look so easy
Should of shown you priming the fuel so they no what to pour it into
Thanks for the video my man will help me out this week , 👌🏽
Happy I could help Chris
I wish that providing the vehicle location would be a good place to start. Show the vehicle, then zoom in, to show the location on the vehicle. For those of us that haven't changed the fuel filter, or don't even know where it is located, this should be a common since starting point :-(
Thanks mate really made that easy
I’m going to do mine today
Did yours airlock? Knowing my luck I'm reluctant to do it lol
Heya Gerard, bit OT here but wonder can you help if you see this: Removing the Air Intake Manifold, do both the exhaust manifold & EGR cooler need to also come off to do this? The Haynes Manual is unclear as the air intake instructions are nested under the section on removing the EGR.
It's for a 2007 Transit Connect 220 hi-top. Thanks for putting these videos up too, they're a great resource. Wish you were still in the country!
you could bride the relay and run the pump and primp the fuel filter too without using the tool
Great tutorial
wich inlet did you fill the filter with fuel or doesn't it matter ?
Good question
Thanks for posting made it look simple for a DIY er to do
That's what i was wondering too. I think that was the most vital part to tell us grrrrr
THE PROBLEM WITH FORDS - is that they spend ages designing the most difficult way to instal every part.
'Little tip, its alot easier to take out the filter with the holder and then unscrew as its not much space in those 'Connect vans.' But thumbs up for tutoral.' (ReD)
Nice in theory but in my 2007 even a 2lbs hammer could not belt out the holder from its two slide in clips!
You may find, like me, that if you remove the rad. hose pipe you will then gain access to the filter strap screw. You may then find that such is chavelled to hell and can't be removed. What to do?
Whilst you can possibly simply slide out the old filter one can almost guarantee that the new filter is 2 thou. wider and won't slide in, even after lubricating its shell!
So, bottom line, is that the strap has to be cut off. It's hard to hack saw through the screw and one immediately then thinks '4" angle grinder.' NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!! Very likely the use of such will cause a fire.
Cover up everything except where the screw joins the two halves of the strap's clasp, then make a few drill holes there with your electric drill before using a large screwdriver to burst open the clasp.
After the new filter has been inserted make good the broken clasp with a powerful cable tie, then trim such with a craft knife.
quick? can 2016 connects be filled by hand with diseal. do you have a video on this becoz it dosent seem so. what happens if it ran out of diseal are they designed now that this cant be done by hand? ive stocked up on diseal and now i cant get it in😭
Hi, just bought a 2010 connect and was browsing UA-cam for videos. Did you have an issue with the fuel system or was it a service item to replace the fuel system? I assume you primed the filter via the input pipe, is there a level you checked or just fill till it over flows?
Thanks for the video. Was looking for how to remove the pipes. Well explained cheers.
I have a 2013 and cannot find the filter anywhere
What about the gasoline version of the ford transit connect?
Yeah I'm looking for that video myself
Do you put the diesel into all three of the connector holes?
Thanks for this 👍
good vid but wish you would of shown how to bleed it thanks
do you fill it with gas before you put it in?
how do ya bleed them ive filled all to the top but engine still sturtels sometimes like there is air in the filter (only at low speed)😏🙄
Thanks for making this vid, much appreciated!👍👏, cheers!
Thanks for the help ..appreciated
Your welcome Ian
Hello Burk i have a Ford Transit Connect. What is the right order to bleeding the brakes. Wich wheel first on wich side?j
I've followed these steps and now my van won't start. Any ideas
Thanks for posting video. My connect just ran out of diesel.Would re filling filter get it running again (must need replacing anyway)
No problem, put fuel in the tank, re prime the fuel filter to max level and have a fully charged battery. it will take lots of cranking on & off but you might eliminate the air out of the system this way, other wise it would be bleeding at injector pipes, (someone experienced for that)
I hope this helps
Very useful info.
Brilliant thanks 👍
Hi , thanks for the video . I take it there is no bleeding of the system necessary after splitting the system ? Cheers
Follow the steps in the video and you will be all set
For 2102 where its located bro ?
Thank you so much ❤️
Very nice video sir. I replaced my fuel filter and filled with diesel before but I can't turn it on. What happened?
Did you find out why you couldn't get started ?
Did it start OK
Where did you get the fuel prime tool?
Is there only one fuel filter in a Ford Connect?
i trust you only filled the inlet with diesel ?
What would happen if you didn’t prime it after instal? Would it still ok?
sometimes the van wont start if you dont fill the filter with fuel first
anyone have problem with power uphills? with 2013 ford transit
Can the filter be primed with vegetable oil or something similar?
Diesel only David, would not advise using anything else.
Why would you prime it with vegetable oil when it runs on diesel 🤣🤣🤣
Sound job
Cheers James
I have the same van and my don't have the fuel filter there
Is yours a petrol or diesel
Do you fill up the filter with diesel or regular gas?
Isa Jav He fills it with diesel. Did you watch and listen to the video? I don't think so
hahahahahhaa
You're supposed to start the engine once you take the old filter out to burn the excess fuel and air out. Before putting the new filter in. Let the engine run until it cuts out and then put the new filter in filled with fuel. That's the correct way. You missed that out
I don't even know what to say about this comment :)
Agree, it would be a right twat to bleed.
Doing the job Gerard's way eliminates the need for bleeding the system, if you start engine without filter or empty filter you are going to get problems because the system will be full of air and let me tell you with a connect van you will be sorry, they can be pigs to get going, i am one of the lucky ones that know an easy way to start them so it don't bother me but the diy man.
{experience from a 73 year old fitter}
Ron Owens how did get around bleeding the system mines had a new filter and won’t start after filling the filter. Been told to bleed it and good luck.
@@ronowens1946 Hi Ron,what's your secret with starting a connect which has air in fuel system please? got major issue starting mine
what hold on the filter did you fill up with diesel
Hole
It will be the input valve
Any will fill filter.
Dont use the outlet port to fill it up , use the inlet port as the outlet port has a one way valve fitted to it and you will break the filter before you hae even used it
