Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCI Diesel Fuel Filter (2008 on)

[@andreaberardo6919]

Finally someone who shows how to properly prime the engine. There's plenty of videos out there which get people stuck with a fuel line full of air. Thank you!

[@piecetoyou8285]

Hi buddy (1)are you connecting the primer pump to the filter outlet and the other end to the return pipe back to tank (2) or primer pump connected from the out let moulded bit from the filter then connecting the other side of the primer pump to the actual connector that sould be clipped on to the moulded filter outlet, so primer pump is just place between them both,

[@hibbs79]

Mate this video is excellent I do hope that one day you will return to KZbin your videos are great and always helpful and well explained. Thanks 👍

Hi which way does the arrow go on the primer?,thanks

[@mentals555]

Hello, I had to replace an injector seal on my 1.6 tdci c-max. I was doing the ABS module at the same time so things were left disassembled for about a week while I waited for the module to be repaired. After getting everything together, I'm getting a no start condition. It's showing only 210 kpa of fuel rail pressure in Forscan. Does this mean my fuel system lost prime while sitting? It did start and run for a couple seconds but stopped, and now will not start. I am also hearing from the tempo when turning over that I am low on compression in one cylinder. Does it sound possible that I could have caused this when replacing the seal? I never heard it cranking for more than a half second because it always started right up.

Great video I have the same priming pump but trying to prime filter on a 1.6 duratorq 2013 fiesta. It has 2 fuel line pipes how do you know which one to fit pump to, don't want to plug into wrong one. Thanks

[@davesutton6367]

Hi Rob car starts first time after bleeding but when i remove the primer and fit pipes back to filter it gets air locked again.any ideas done it about 10 times..only disconnected filter to to do egr valve

[@JG_Fit]

Great informative video, il be buying the hand pump, but where can you get an adapter that will connect to fords fuel line, and other side to standard hose?

[@OneAuto]

Thanks, link in the description for the full kit on Amazon or search Ford diesel priming pump there.

[@theredfrost]

Would an old fuel filter make my engine malfunctioning warning come on when I accelerated ?

[@OneAuto]

Yes it could if partially blocked causing low fuel pressure. Like this Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI P228C & P2291 Low Fuel Pressure - Limp Mode kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXKmqZWQpsaBb68

[@brams77]

hi, great video. ive just changed my fuel filter on my 06 transit duratourq di, i filled the new filter with diesel, it starts and runs for about 5 mins and stops! i check the filter and its half full, so i dont think any diesel is getting to the filter! any advice? thanks

[@OneAuto]

I've had once before the filter housing that the filter screws into suck air in. To be sure I bypassed the filter by mackling up some pipe work and my primer kit. If it starts and runs ok you know it's the filter housing/filter area.

[@brams77]

One Auto, thanks ill check the housing 👍

[@piecetoyou8285]

Hi Rob,great vid thank you I bought the kit ready for when I get into the engine to change the filter, but I do have some thing on my mind that I don`t understand, I own a ford fiesta 1.4 TDCI zetec 2008 w reg, I cannot work out why it does not have a hand priming rubber bulb on the left to bleed the system when a lot of the models of this engine seem to have, And I cannot work out what model MK it is I don`t know whether its a MK5 MK6 OR MK7,as I need to by parts of internet they state Mk? Given details of year would you know

[@OneAuto]

Thanks. Go on Wikipedia and look up Fiesta. There is a days worth of reading and photos to work out what generation you have. Fords also would have for instance a Mark 2 car, do a slight facelift and call it a Mark 2.5 All very confusing.

[@piecetoyou8285]

@@OneAuto Ha ha I went on there mine looked like a mark 6 or maybe a seven cant tell the difference

[@Alexander_l322]

I can’t tell you for sure it ain’t a W reg 🤣 2008 is 08 or 58 plate and you need to buy a primer pump from somewhere like Amazon or eBay to do it

[@MasterSifou.]

My Fiesta goes to limping mode after I get an ''engine malfunction message'''. I've connected my car with a OBD-II and 4 errors came up. (U0405(00), P0219(68), P2290(00) & P0087(22). Do you think If I replace the fuel filter will it resolve the issue? thank you in advance and great video!

[@jimmaey]

great tutorial. i've seen the diesel filter being done on a ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI without the prime pump tool. does the air get out via the injectors or how does it stay in the lines? i'm quite confused as why some use the tool and others don't. do they expect the air to come out over time?

[@OneAuto]

Some cars have a low pressure fuel pump usually in the tank that feeds the high pressure pump on the engine. In this instance a priming tool is not required as you correctly said the air will pass out of the injectors. Thanks

[@miladinseratlic5984]

@@OneAuto what whould happen if we connect that hand pump on fuel return line ? Whould it suck all air out from filter, fuel lines, high pressure pump and injectrs and fill it only with fuel?

[@leedaniels1468]

Get yourself a gearbox oil syringe I have a 500ml Silverline one £10 Ebay then after attaching the feed pipe from the tank just connect the syringe pipe to the injection feed outlet on the filter and PULL the diesel through. It may take a couple of pulls but its a lot easier than the black ball bag method ,get one with a clear tube attached to keep track of air in the system. Like I said the Silverline one has a clear tube attachment that fits the oil filter connectors perfectly no mucking about converting tube sizes.

[@jakobstrmgaard3854]

really great video, explains perfectly to detail whilst maintaining the simplicity. good job boss!

[@OneAuto]

Thanks Jakob

[@colinhoward9402]

Excellent explanation which will be invaluable when I change filter on my son’s Fiesta. Thanks so much!

[@dodgyd167]

hi great vid am about to do same bosch filter on 2013 tdci .but ive noticed that the filter on car!.. that the electrical plug with the 2 wires that fits on top is not connected. can you please tell me what they are for.??? thanx DD

[@OneAuto]

The bit on the top is the Fuel heater

[@flaskandsarnies]

Nice clear explanation of the job and what the extra connector is for. Its very handy to get a recommendation for tools too, such as that Sealey VS555 fuel priming kit, any recommendations are always welcome!

[@nabildellal7902]

thanks for the video. Very informative. Can I please ask for the size(diameter) of the fuel hose/connector. is it 8mm?

[@frankennedy3111]

The filter we have looks different,and has a pipe at the base??

[@ryanh3285]

Do you know if a mazda 3 with the same engine is The same procedure?

[@OneAuto]

Ryan Hewitt Yes, same procedure 👍

[@ryanh3285]

One Auto, thanks very much.

[@alessandrodrjack]

Thank you, i have a question: does the filter has the water drain plug?

[@OneAuto]

This one did not but some do see 5:15

[@alessandrodrjack]

thank you ! can you tell me if the internal diameter of the pipes is 8 mm?

[@OneAuto]

I have no idea, sorry

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

What is the 2pin electrical connector for? I accidentally left mine unplugged and now my focus won’t start, even though I’ve plugged it back in

[@OneAuto]

Fuel heater. But that won’t cause a non start. There’s gonna be air in the system. Try bleeding it again

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

@@OneAuto all i did was move the fuel filter to fit EGR blank plate, and its just not startin now lol... ran for a bit then died and now wont start

[@bishalpahari6895]

Can I just buy one kit suitable for fiesta 1.6 TDCI only? If yes what does it called and from where I can get it mate?

[@OneAuto]

Amazon sell Sealey kits. Just type B00THFJ5MI into amazon search

[@bishalpahari6895]

Thank you so much mate, your video is very informative and helpful :)

[@DanielDK909]

Is it the same on a Ford Focus mk3 1,6 TDCI ?

[@ejoautosverige]

Is that plastic screw on the top a bleeder screw?

[@OneAuto]

No bleed screws on that type

[@Nffc97]

Are these on the petrol 1.6 versions of the MK7 2011?

[@OneAuto]

No they have an in tank lifetime filter

[@vov9261]

For some reason I have totally different filter and pipes are in a different place. It's 2011 1.6tdci 8v.

[@tudorelpopescu2964]

How many km does the diesel filter change?

[@ryanh3285]

I've just changed the filter on my mazda 3 1.6 diesel yesterday. Today an error code has come up p2002 which relates to dpf soft code. Do you think this is a coincidence or I have done something wrong? The car seems to drive fine. I got a bosch fuel filter from opie oils. I've heard before that I should only use genuine fuel filters to avoid issues. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@OneAuto]

It won't be to do with what you have done. Go for a long drive in it over 50 mph to get it to regenerate the dpf. Hopefully that will sort it.

[@ryanh3285]

One Auto, Thanks for the reply. I cleared the fault with my code reader. I've been only a very long trip well over 100 miles and all seems the error code didn't come back on so hopefully all is good. 👍

[@Badgertronix]

that's a good looking priming kit. I need one! Good clear explanation, cheers!

[@OneAuto]

Badgertronix Yeh it's a good kit.. expensive for a few bits of tube, ball valve and connectors but I couldn't be without it now. Cheers 🍻

[@guywilloughby3383]

Is it not possible to just fill the filter manually with fuel to save having to purge it

[@OneAuto]

No, if you could get fuel in you’d never get the air out.

[@jamescam200962]

I've just done this fill the filter with diesel start the car it will take a few times once started give it some revs and take the car out for a little drive

Yes overnight thanks to Mr O

[@mikegallagher2236]

Is the 1.4 tdci fuel filter the same?

[@OneAuto]

I think so

[@bachandefi]

Thanks Rob. That's saved me a lot of buggering about ; )

[@OneAuto]

Nice.. Glad I could help :)

[@MortoFett]

Great video. where did you purchase the tool from?

[@OneAuto]

You can get it here amzn.to/2sINqeb

[@TheDaf95xf]

Nice video Rob.......😃 Is it the same for the 1.6 tdci 2011 focus titanium x? Thanks Stevie 😃

[@OneAuto]

Yes all similar to each other 👍

[@jamescam200962]

I've just watched this video but the filter I've got isn't the same it doesn't come as a complete unit it's only the filter part

[@OneAuto]

So long as the filter is the same as whats on your car. There are different options. Whichever one you have you will need to bleed it as in the video.

[@happinesscasmiro4580]

Thanks I'm going to buy that pump
