Mitsubishi Grandis - Fuel Filter - Mitsiman

I have a Grandis 2.0 DiD - I loose power every so often and with this there is a jerking motion as if it is starving of Fuel. Someone mentioned it was a dirty fuel filter. Does anyone know if this is the case and if so where is the fuel filter located so that I can take a look to see if it is clean or not

We have a Grandis too. We don't have this problem though.

The engine is actually the VW Audi 2.0 TDI engine (140 bhp), so a search for the problem on other cars "may" help.

There is not much help on the web for the grandis. This happened to my Alfa 1.9jtd and it was the EGR valve that was coked up and the pin did not move. I am would like to clean the valve on my Grandis and am currently trying to find out how to find / remove it.

I will post on here when I find out.

I spoke to the VW technician that serviced my Grandis. I also have an Alfa 1.9 and I cleaned the EGR to sort the problem. He said not to do the Grandis unless the fault light is showing, he also said that they do not get issues with the EGR unless they have done in excess of 100k miles.
