Great video! Thankyou. Couple tips, grease the seal rubber when you put it on and maybe to the ignition turn prime 6 or 7 times and should be good to go.
Cheers again!
Glad it helped and Thanks for the Tips 👍🏽 I did the filter a couple of times in my ownership and usually it took 3-4 Times and it started up. Moving to ignition, only started the pump once or twice, you had to start it a few times to get it going.
Thank you for the great video great help
Glad it helped 😁
good movie, everything is clearly shown bym I would like to add that if someone has an Astra from 2010, the fuel system is vented manually.😁
Thanks for the good comment and the info. 👍🏾
How do you know if a car has an uplift pump or like this Astra (vented manually)?
@@mbz4652 because I had the Astra from 2010 and I know that these years do not have a fuel pump.
How is it vented? Whats vented mean? Thanks.
I believe they mean to bleed the air out or prime the fuel system with fuel before starting the engine
I just came here to say…I love your accent!!
Awh that's lovely, thanks 😊 In my accent 😉 Would you like to guess?
@@noorshah96 there’s Irish mixed in there, I know that much 😂
Dead right 😂 Originally from Pakistan and the mixture of accent you hear is Kerry (The Kingdom) from my few years here.
@@noorshah96 nailed it! 🤩 definitely subscribing for the accent and the tips are an added perk 🤣👍🏻 this vid was a great help though, I’m learning to do these things myself on my GTC instead of running to the garage constantly and this really helped! Thanks dude 😁
@@claires2545 Much appreciated 🤝 That's how I started doing my own work top that no matter what car you drive, you end up having to go to garages the whole time so this definitely saves money and time.
Nicely done 👏👏
very informative. thanks
Glad it helped 🙂
Very helplful video 👍
Is this the same process for Astra 1.4 petrol and the same size of filter?
I don't have personal experience but I'm pretty sure it's very different. Probably a metal one.
Great video 👍🏾. Does the astra j have a timing belt or chain i have 70 thousand on the clock is it time for a belt change
Thanks 👍🏾 Yes, the 1.7 diesels do have the belt. I could be wrong so double check the manual for your specific model/engine but generally it's 100,000 or 6 Years for a timing belt change.
@@noorshah96 Thanks will check out the engine spec
@@noorshah96
it's a belt i've just had mine changed at 85k
Wrong wrong and once again wrong. Don't recommend people to turn key few times ! This car doesn't have pre-pump system. Doing like that people will stuck with air bubbles in common rail system ! THE ONLY RIGHT WAY TO DO THIS IS TO UNPLUG FUEL CONNECTOR UNDER BONNET (BLUE COLOUR) AND CONNECT 10MM HOSE. YOU HAVE TO USE SUCTION PUMP OR EVEN OWN MOUTH TO SUCK DIESEL. OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE TURNING KEY FOREVER AND FINALLY INJECTORS WILL GET AIR BUBBLES. ONLY RIGHT WAY TO DO THIS FAST AND IN CORRECT MANNER IS DOING FUEL PRIMING.
@Luke Thanks for pointing it out. That's how I had seen it and did it this way. I have done it twice over the years and never had a problem. I believe there will be diesel in the fuel rail already no? The last time I did it, the car started in first or second go. I would ask people to report if they had any issues.
hey, is 10mm external dimension of hose or internal? Sorry for bad English.
@@MindOfaWarriorno problem - not sure what hose you are referring to from this video? I can try and help if I know
@@noorshah96 I'm thinking about the hose that Interjinx mentioned. Did he think that we need 10mm external dimension or internal dimension of hose?
Oh okay, I hadn't done that method and I actually don't have the car anymore so can't confirm unfortunately 😕
Good video. Is this just for diesel not petrol ?
Thanks! This one is for diesel, petrol might be different but generally the process would be similar once you find the location and the part. I hope you get sorted.
When taking out the first nut , when the fuel starts draining , does it stop eventually?
Oh it does stop eventually 😁 It's only the fuel present in the filter and the housing
@@noorshah96 Thanks. I have seen another similar video where the person bleeds the fuel system. Is it necessary to do this? Also is it necessary to disconnect the fuel line? Thanks for your quick response
@@kwaggapoot9834 Yeah I think I've seen it too but it doesn't make Sense to me to do that unless you are having issues or something is gone into the fuel tank. Filter element change should be enough to maintain the car. Hope it helps.
So, I tried to change my fuel filter today on my 60 plate Astra J 1.7CDTI, 10 litres of waisted diesel later and was still draining. I stopped at this point can you help me
Sorry to hear that mate and apologies couldn't get back earlier. I hope you have it sorted by now 🙂 but if you were to give a bit more detail maybe? I believe you might have taken the hoses off the filter housing? Which you don't have to unless need to change em.
But kid carpet 😂😁👏
You gotta do what you gotta do 😂
Breaf example
Glad it helped 😊
Apparently astra j does not have a fuel filter
It depends on what Engine the Astra J has I believe, this was a 2013 1.7cdti.
Only in diesel. I only use petrol.
👍🏾👍🏾
