How to change the diesel fuel filter on Land Rover Freelander 2 / Range Rover Evoque

This video shows how to change the fuel filter on a Land Rover Freelander 2 Diesel 2.2L engine.

[@tudorghemes8467]

Thank you for the video. Very helpful. Just finished changing the filter. One important piece of information: Fill the new filter with diesel before installing it, otherwise the car will start on the first try because it still has some leftover diesel in the pipes but after 10 seconds the motor will turn itself off.

[@cacamaca1365]

Yes, you right. I have a 2.2l mondeo 2008 with the same engine. I have changed filter yesterday and after 10-20 seconds engine stop. Now I google it to see how to prime all diesel lines. I have fitted a hand pump on return line and sucked all air from fuel filter until diesel come clear without bubbles but car still not starting. Probably air from pump to injectors? Hmmm

[@simonpollitt3234]

Love this channel and all the help you’ve given me over the years. However, please god put a comment in this video about filling the filter so that no one else has a day like mine trying to get there freelander to start...

Good old British way....have a cuppa tea and think about it - sure they did this whilst building a Spitfire! :) Ford S Max 2.2 TDCI owner here and me Dad owns the Land Rover F2 - similar engine (although we noticed oil filters are in differing places - this underneath - not great for doing on the driveway :/) - changed air filter/cabin filter - bought an oil extractor and new fuel filter and found this fantastic how to! Thank you. Helps a lot to have someone show you rather than having to buy a Haynes manual and finding out for £13. Never changed a fuel filter and won't pay a stealer ever again having had bad experiences....not doing work or damaging car.

[@LysanderLH]

my feelander 2 has just gone in because the engine management light came on. I suspect the fuel filter needs changing, so when I get the bill, if it's the filter, i'll know, thanks to you, exactly what was done. Many thanks.

Thank you for making the video, very helpful.

Thank you so much for the video. Really helped me out.

[@benparsonson5387]

Dead good to work on these. Better than my Volkswagen 1.9 tdi, clips break and nothing goes back right. Great cars and great video.

[@deannel9657]

Im sorry but 1.9 tdi pd engine is way better than this pice of land shits 🤣🤣🤣

[@longshanks6788]

Cheers chaps. Was trying to get the fuel pipes off the filter on my 2.2 Ford S-max- which is EXACTLY the same as this. Sorted! Don't worry about all the haters, they've got nothing better to do.

[@JamesPond-cd3tp]

Did you need to prime the system or bleed it or do anything or than fit the filter? Ford S Max 2.2 TDCI 2008 here too...begrudge paying a stealer to do a full service and not know if they did it properly so bought all the filters/oil from Euro Car Parts and decided to DIY. I've seen people on forums indicate bleeding it etc and no hand pump on hose like on Peugeots etc ? Thanks for any help/replies!

[@richwebb8424]

The blanking plugs on the new filter are to be used on the pipes when you take them off and then vacuum pump from return or even suck on a pipe that you can fit on the return to fill filter and thus making it good to go.

Thanks guys for a wonderful channel

Awesome video thanks I love it. I have evoque TD4 2013 I really want to know how to change the fuel Filter.Any help please

Superb. Thanks lads

[@pmb9172]

These people are trying to be helpful , perhaps some of those commenting need to consider the tone of their replies . They are certainly more helpful than most Land Rover franchise dealers you come across

[@JamesPond-cd3tp]

agreed.

[@grinchjones9597]

Most replies aren’t unfriendly, just correcting an error. But yes, these guys are really useful and do it from the view of a relative novice which is great. They don’t assume any prior knowledge.

How did you start the car after changing the filter? I don't need to put diesel in the filter? -- como você fez para ligar o carro após a troca do filtro? não preciso colocar diesel no filtro ?

[@adc73.]

Primer and bleed hand pump is HIGHLY recommended

[@marcelofeitoza4518]

How did you manage to not let air into the system?

[@elbowtoe84]

Did you range switched off due to no diesel in new filter

[@russellsification]

my Evoque filter is on the O/S of the engine L/H when looking into the Engine and had only two pipes The engine is L538 2018. Cant seem to find any guidance on how to chane it. All are like this one you have done

[@damowilliams204]

I’ve got quite a lot of help from you guys, but please please please amend this video. If you crank the engine before filling or priming the filter you’ll need to bleed the injectors. Either fill the filter with derv before you fit or suck some fuel through with some 8mm pipe.

[@duckhunter8203]

Good video, but yes recommend to bleed threw with a hand pump or brake fluid bleeding machine if you have a compressor. Or start up and hold revs at 3.000rpm for about 10 seconds and I guarantee it will fill it up without cutting out every time 👍🏻👍🏻

[@L663]

Sounds like good advice from a man that knows

Vc sabe quantos dólares está sendo vendido esse filtro aí nos esteites

[@eugenenikiforov7859]

The better way is to fill diesel fuel into the filter before connecting inlet pipes and starting the engine. Because air in the filter could damage diesel nozzles.

[@77appyi]

most likely the air will go back to the tank vier the return

[@day73]

How often does the filter need changing on A Freelander TD4 2.2

[@MysticInfusion]

Every Schedule B service (i.e., every two years, if going by time)

[@osmoclaphanger]

How often should you chnage the fuel filter on a Range Rover Evoque please?

[@L663]

Not sure - i guess depends if its diesel or petrol and also a factor of age and mileage !

[@duncanpalmer3689]

Mine came up with 'HDC fault' on display and wouldn't start. So either wouldn't self prime or a different issue?

[@L663]

This is "hill decesent control" issue - try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting after 10 mins - this may reset some things - other than that you need to get a fault code reader - it could be somehing odd like the brake pedal switch !

[@grinchjones9597]

!!! READ THIS FIRST !!! System must be primed before use. This video falls short and the follow on fix it video is a bodge. So what do need to do? Simple. Fit it as shown. DO NOT START. Using a primer bulb, or manually, prime the system from the RETURN side. That way you fill the diesel pump as well and none of the ridiculous injector bleeding they do on the follow up video. To do this remove the red clip to the left of the arrow. Fit a primer bulb and suck until you get diesel out. Refit. Start car. Easy. You can suck manually if you have strong lungs. It’s slow but it works. Take care not to ingest diesel of course. You can see the fuel coming down the pipes, so I didn’t get a mouth full of diesel doing this.

[@grinchjones9597]

Btw, generally i love these guys - but on this occasion they got it wrong.

[@anthonylee6252]

Thanks for the comment. Sadly I didn't see it on time and nievely thought the pump would fill it with just ignition on. I've done your suggestion but still doesn't start. Am I going to have to loosen injectors since I did attempt some starts before seeing your comment? Or just keep pumping through red connector and in the end that will get all the air out?

[@broli85]

it is not true you do not have to bleed the system. also, on later models there is a plug at the bottom of the filter and it is a pain to refit

Hi I have added this to our "to do" list

[@schmaha100]

This is very helpful for self repair. However, I wonder about air problem. Basically, some filers have pump for making no air. but this filter look that it doesn't have. Someone told, put some air to fuel tank with compressor something. of course you have to seal the hole except air hose. but I wonder it can work, and I can't check easily. Or As Mr. Nikiforoff said, connect 2 lines, and you put the diesel with syringe as you put as you can. but it is not perfect method anyway. It can be hardly full-filled.

[@philip.aocallaghan4602]

Information given on this video is in correct... and should be removed. Clearly the two in the video haven't got a clue what there at and the video removed. Bleeding the vehicle in this manner can do untold damage.

[@erickeith1154]

High pressure injection and the twat opens the injector pipes......obviously knows feck all about common rail diesels, no one in their right mind would open one and start the engine. Pressure in a common rail can be as high as 1500 bar, that will go right through the skin even if wearing a latex glove, this video should be removed immediately.

[@catalinnechita6656]

It.s not all good because the engine stopped, you were left without diesel in the filter. The best way is some how to put diesel in the filter

[@btnetro]

Guys this is not self priming. You need to prime the filter, or suck on return pipe otherwise it won't start. I watched this video, did it your way and now it's airlocked and I have to wait for mechanic to do it. I think you are doing more harm then good with this incomplete video.

[@ALLSORTS91]

A good video until the point you say all good when the car dies out because you havent sucked the fuel up, going to cause people alot of hassle

[@peterwilliamson9513]

This video should be removed and replaced with a video where the filter is primed before starting the car.
