Hi i havea pug 306 diesel with a DW8 engine and lucas fuel pump. I havebought a service kit off ebay and want to swap the oil, air and fuel filter. The oil and air are easy but how do i swap the fuel filter? it's an oval size with fuel lines coming off the top, a drain at the bottom and a plastic strip around the top to hold the lid on (not the four bolted variety) any help would be great.

I have a Haynes manual for the 306 at home. If nobody has posted an answer by the time I get in, I will have a look for you.

Mine was the four bolt type, so quite different by the sounds of it.

You might also want to check you have the right service kit before you dismantle anything. It could be that the filters are different as well as the housings.

Sorry, the Haynes manual I have (93-99) doesn't help.

It covers D9B, DJZ, DJY, D8A and DHY engines, and both Bosch and Lucas injection systems. However, it says that the fuel filter assembly (four screw type) is common to both fuel systems, and that type is the only one covered.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
