Focus mk2 tdci 2005 - Diesel fuel filter - Bryanc

Hi Kev.

My advice, having accidently disconnected the fuel line on this car is to leave it to a garage, to do the work, this engine is very difficult to bleed the air out the system, as there is no lift pump in the fuel line to prime the fuel up to the filter. It should I believe be changed every 3 years or 33 k mls.

Cheers

Bryan C
