Great help thanks - struggled to get mine started after fuel filter change but all good now, really appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

Good video mate 👍 Had this kind of primer button on my Mazda 6 2.2 d. Always filled new filter with diesel, primed it with a push button and it never even had a hiccup on start up 😉

[@Chris_CDB]

Good news

[@led665]

Thank you so much for this video!! Absolutely popped my pants when mine wouldn’t start, didn’t realise I had to pump the button! 🤦‍♂️🤪

[@Chris_CDB]

No problem at all, glad to see it helped you out, easy when you know how!

[@PoEt121]

I have a volvo with similar engine and same filter but I can't understand why they don't put the prime pump on it whereas Peugeot and Ford version's do 🤔 thanks volvo

Great video any tips how to remove a stuck injector below the fuel filter

[@johnmcculloch4009]

Hi, Useful video, thank you. I have a 2013 Peugeot 308 e-hdi 8V FAP S&S 115 cv, and tiny diesel oil drops are found on the garage floor when I use the car and then park it. (I have removed the large plastic cover under the car and engine to try and identify the problem). If I don't drive it, the oil drops stop. When I start the engine I cannot see any diesel fuel from any of the connectors on the top of the diesel filter, nor from the fuel injectors on the top of the engine. Since looking at your video I am wondering if the leak could be coming from the bottom of the filter. I believe the tiny leak is dripping from below the diesel filter. Presumably the water sensor (on mine like yours......with no electrical connection) stays closed when the car is operating normally and nothing should come out of the bottom of the filter ?? I am wondering if my diesel leak could possibly come from a faulty seal there ?? The diesel filter was changed about 6 months ago, but I don't believe the leak started at that time. Would be interested in you opinion please.

Hi,happy new year mate,i'c recently changed my filter,and punped that Primer fo 10minuts and from those come nothing,how much i need to pump?

[@vlad-iulianciobanu1884]

I have a Peugeot 3008 (just bought it) and I think the fuel filter needs changing, the car has 120 000 miles, and I did not see any invoice for the fuel filter replacement. I also get esp asr fault and check engine light if I start the car from cold. But If I let it warm up the errors disappear. Also, when I start it the smoke is quite whitish and the fuel smells a bit too much. Thank you for the video, great work !

[@Chris_CDB]

Hi mate, I would HIGHLY doubt that the fuel filter is the original filter at 120k miles, it would of definitely clogged before now, but it wouldn’t hurt to change it! The esp and asr faults will need to be scanned with a scanner to determine what the faults potentially are.

[@tigerxra8515]

Thanks. I've gotten P0087 fault on my 2007 Citroen C5 when I was flooring it to overtake a semi-truck. By the description of fault code, at one moment ecu has detected too low fuel pressure in common rail system. I think that it might be a clogged filter (or little filter in fuel tank).

[@Chris_CDB]

Filter would be the first point of call.

[@huntman9485]

Great videos. Is it possible to show how to replace a Audi A4 2.0 TDI B 8.5 (2014 MODEL) Fuel filter replacement sometime please?

[@Chris_CDB]

Hi mate, thanks a lot. Yes I will do a filter replacement video when I get one in for that vehicle no problem!

[@flybobbie1449]

Just done this, surprised what a difference it makes. My Berlingo was struggling to hit 3500rpm. Now a lot livelier. I think first time it has been changed in 44k miles and 10 years..

[@Chris_CDB]

Good news, yea an unchanged filter of 10 years would be pretty clogged!!

[@flybobbie1449]

@@Chris_CDB Soon has it started, it sounded different. Always felt as though engine was tight. Long trip tomorrow so looking forward to how it performs.

[@user-oq6vj8xm6q]

Have fuel leak from hose under the car near the sump do u know what's it?

[@CobnutVTS]

Hi mate cheers for the video just wondering if i understand that the filter doesnt actually need filled up? Like if i press the primer button enough times itll eventually fill up and start? Is that right and to do that would the fuel line have to be disconnected or would i pump the button while its connected until it goes hard? Hopefully that makes sense, cheers!

[@Chris_CDB]

Yea, connect up all pipes to the filter, pump the primer and it will fill the filter itself and the pipes too.

I have leak from the filter down connection.. after the replacement..how its need to be fitted

[@eduardvarvara1829]

Hi great videos! If could help me on a problem I would be very grateful 🙏 I have the same engine on a Peugeot 308 1.6 Hdi my mechanic changed the fuel filter but forgot to fill it up with diesel and now the engine won't start! He says that now there is air in the fuel installation. What can he do? He needs to use a vacuum pump and then to press the button from the top of the fuel filter? Is it neccesary to press that button ? Thank you a lot!

[@Chris_CDB]

Hi, thanks for the comment….Does your filter housing have the round button on top of the filter housing then?.. (as in a primer button)?..

[@eduardvarvara1829]

@@Chris_CDB Yes

[@Chris_CDB]

[@eduardvarvara1829]

Just for my knowledge what does that button do? What is his role? Thank you

[@rajko666]

I have P0087 code after fiting new filter, could the filter be defective?

[@Chris_CDB]

does the vehicle run?

[@jamesgeater4874]

what size pipe on the pump please?

[@Chris_CDB]

If I remember rightly it’s 6 or 8mm

[@IbnuCuruk]

What engine code is this? I don’t think it’s the same as the Volvo V40 D2 1.6L D4162T

[@Chris_CDB]

It will be similar engine, code will be different but engine will be same

[@IbnuCuruk]

@@Chris_CDB Some of them have the pump to pressurize the system, others don’t. That’s why I asked. Thanks for the reply.

[@lappi_wojak]

you don't have any 'pump' buttons on a Volvo

[@Chris_CDB]

You may have a lift pump then.
