you gotta push the metal clip in near the rear wheel with something, screwdriver will do, then pull it out at the same time, then the other clip you have to sqeeze together then pull it off, clamp the lines first unless u dont mind getting petrol everywhere

i need to change the filter on mine, managed to get a strap from citroen dealer only cost £1.36, if not citroen then try peugeot as 106/306 may well have same mounting system.

Bit off topic but the oil should be 3.5 litres not 4 litres, its the same on all models, read your handbook

just a quick question, i went and bought a new fuel filter from GSF, and i didnt get the fuel filter strap with it, i asked the guy on the counter and he didnt have a clue, he said that it shudnt need one...when i pressed him and said it was in my haynes manual he said it was probably a part only available from a dealer?? Does anyone know if this is true or not? Mines a 1.1 x mk 1, so is it different to the mark 2 and do i need/not need the strap? Iv tried looking underneath the car but the idiot i am i cant find where its located...

cheers

sorry to sound stupid but whats the benefits of changing a fuel filter?

mine seems to drink alot of petrol, does changing a fuel filter help with fuel consumption?

also how do you know if it needs changing?

Lemonflavour · 16th March 2010, 19:58

Wheres the best place to get the filters from with the strap? looked on ebay and they on cost about 4 quid? is that about right price or is that some mickey mouse shit filter that will screw up?
