Just wanted to thank you for the clear and detailed video. I managed to get this done easily and the car is now running perfectly. Make sure to fill your filter with diesel before you reinstall. No pump needed just put a funnel on the inlet and fill it up. Greetings from Macedonia

Thanks - Great Tip

[@TheGoose31]

Thank you so much for this detailed video. I will attempt it right away. Greetings from Macedonia!

Good video i did mine in the summer actually alot easier than my old car.I did struggle to get the old filter out and actually thought it had another bolt that i couldn't find.👍

[@gregknight5141]

Thanks for their video mate, very helpful. My car has same engine so was same procedure, except all bolt's 8mm on mine which was handy! I've worked out that little random adapter that does nothing is what you hold on to help pull it out, so saves using screwdriver's 😀

Tkanki You so much for this detailed video ☺☺☺ Great work 👍👍👍

[@csabafodor1862]

Can i prime it/pump it trough the return pipe/hose after the injectors? It s located on the top left side of the engine

[@patrickmccarthy6532]

Just about to do this change on my volvo v50. Same engine thanks

[@msoutlookenator]

Many thanks for your continued posts on Mazda servicing. Are you likely to cover gear oil change and brake fluid change?

[@seriously-learntodrive]

Not any time soon. However the gear oil change is similar to the Mazda 6 which i have linked in the description above.

[@msoutlookenator]

Seriously - Learn to drive Much appreciated!

[@sergiosanchez-lh4yg]

Muy buen video, podrias poner la referencia del filtro? Gracias!

[@khushsandhu5362]

hi sir. i have mazda 3 2009 Diesel and it showing powertrain sign. so it's because of fuel filter. ? it runs and drive but it's not going over 80. thanks best regard sandhu

[@TheGoose31]

I believe that may be a clogged diesel particulate filter or a lack of exhaust fluid which can only be filled in the container under the car near the fuel tank

[@CarloLeonKolega]

Can you do EGR valve clean guide for this car? ty

[@miguelpereira4117]

Gracias señor, tengo una duda. Una vez reconectado el filtro nuevo ¿No debería llenarse con diésel, dandole contacto al vehículo? Así es en la mayoría de otras marcas que no traen un cebador manual

[@seriously-learntodrive]

Normalmente respondo en inglés, pero usaré el traductor de google. Sí, el filtro de combustible debe llenarse con combustible antes de arrancar el automóvil. Si no lo hace, entonces el motor seguirá girando hasta que la bomba de combustible haya empujado el combustible hacia el filtro. Si no tiene una bomba incorporada, debe usar una bomba de vacío para aspirar el combustible al filtro. para el filtro de aceite, si el filtro se puede instalar verticalmente, entonces sí, puede llenar el filtro de aceite antes de instalar el filtro. Sin embargo, si el filtro entra de lado, entonces no puedes. Debe llenar el aceite de motor adicional y arrancar el automóvil. Al hacer esto, el aceite es empujado en el filtro de aceite.

[@laurentiulaur8363]

Hey you have any idea why my car doesnt start any more. at the first time it was going but after 20 min no more i can't no more starting the car

[@seriously-learntodrive]

If you have a diesel and try to start your engine and you can hear the engine turning, then it could be your fuel pump has stopped working, your filter has blocked. If you have petrol then it also could be your spark plugs. If you have obd reader then you could see if it is a sensor such as the crank shaft. With out much more information I can only give general places on what to look at.

[@paulfragoso7006]

Would you know how to do this on a 2007 Mazda 3 2.0L can not for the love of god find the location off the filter

[@seriously-learntodrive]

I think the fuel filter ( i could be wrong) on your model. It is located somwhere behind the rear wheel on the drivers side. If you go to Euro car parts and enter you reg. You can see what the filter looks like.

[@mishutz]

Hi, Changed the filter a month ago. All went well, but now i got a problem with the car. On the first startup after it sat for a while, it stalls. Same symptom as if you did not fill the fuel filter or air entered in the fuel. Any ideas? Cheers!

[@cheese-sg8ji]

This is a late reply, but for future people watching this, I just saw another videos, many people with this issue. The trick is to start the engine and let it idle for 30 mins, then turn up the A/C on full and let it idle for another 15 minutes. This apparently is the correct process for letting the ECU discover the correct fuel mixture. Its seems to require this any time you disconnect the battery.

[@mishutz]

​@@cheese-sg8ji, to come back to this, it was the fuel rail high pressure sensor

[@cheese-sg8ji]

@@mishutz I'm getting a lean fuel mixture code, swapped my air filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, cleaned maf sensor and im waiting on parts so I can do the fuel filter and o2 sensor. the code hasn't reappeared but apparently it can take 2 weeks for it to reshow if it is going to.

[@mishutz]

@@cheese-sg8ji what engine?

[@cheese-sg8ji]

@@mishutz I believe its a 4cyl, 2000cc, non skytech or whatever its called, on a standard transmission, why?

[@Verschlimmbesserung]

I replaced the fuel filter on my Mazda, bled the fuel line, but it refuses to start up. Could it be that there is still air in the line?

[@seriously-learntodrive]

Bill Kendich . Did you bleed the fuel line as shown in the video. Because if the fuel filter is not filled with diesel, then when you start, the filter will fill up with fuel and the engine will just turn over. Also make sure the fuel line connections and electrical connection are tight and in the right way round. Also when you say that your car does not start. When you try to start Can you hear the engine trying to start, or you hear nothing. If you hear nothing there there is another issue.

[@Verschlimmbesserung]

@@seriously-learntodrive It fired up today. Problem was, the fuel line wasn't properly bled from the filter to the common rail. I used a pump to fill up the line.

[@petrutmihaiflorin5003]

I did it exctly. I refueled the filter. It started run for 10 secconds and then it died. I can t start it anymore. Any ideas ?

[@robinhood4640]

@@petrutmihaiflorin5003 I have the same problem i think it is the pump. When i gravity feed the filter the car works fine.

[@petrutmihaiflorin5003]

I did exactly as shown. Refilled the fuel filter. It started and run for 10 seccond then it stopped. I can t started anymore. Any ideas ?

[@seriously-learntodrive]

Need some more information. Does the engine turn when you try to start? If so (silly question), do you have enough fuel in the fuel tank? If you do, check that you have not disconnected by accident the air flow sensor on the air intake, located on the pipe from the air filter. Check the air filter is not blocked. Do you have any lights on the dashboard when trying to start the car?

[@robinhood4640]

I had the same problem. There is no lift pump in tank, just fuel gauge. It was a bit of a pain to get ALL air out of system.without correct tool but it was the only way to get it running.

[@petrutmihaiflorin5003]

I fixed the pepblem ....the next day. Turn s out that my type of engine if it gets air in the instalation then it is a nightmare to restart the engine. I sprayed the intake from the air turbo with starting spray plus I hooked the car battery to another car batery. You need a lot o amperage until it starts. After 10 to 15 minutes of spraying and trying to start ...the car finaly started.
