thanks for the advice but do you think you could give me an idiot's guide too doing the job step by step as have only changed filter on an l.d.v before and not a transit many thanksMrMPuk wrote:Fill the new one with diesel before fitting as it makes bleeding easier!
still need to know how as i already have filter from local spares shop and its not a ford product thanksNighthawk wrote:if you get a ford filter, the instructions are printed onto the element
i'm going to have fun first thing in the morning thanks everyone for your helpmotorwise wrote:Twist off the plastic threaded ring - pull off filter - fill new filter with diesel - push new filter fully home - twist on the plastic threaded ring - start engine and run for a minute or two on fast idle
there is a primer on top of the housing but if you've filled the filter with diesel you wont need it
have fun

Isn't there a 'water in fuel light' connector/gadget on the bottom that needs to be disconnected and fitted to the new filter (like the MK5?)motorwise wrote:Twist off the plastic threaded ring - pull off filter - fill new filter with diesel - push new filter fully home - twist on the plastic threaded ring - start engine and run for a minute or two on fast idle
