A tip when replacing the fuel filter: take the protective caps off the new one before taking the old one off. When you take a line off, cap the connection of the old filter. That way you won't get as drenched in fuel when taking the old filter off :)

When you changed the fuel filter it reminded me of when you changed the corsa filter. It was the first job I ever did on my corsa myself. Since then I've done all the repairs and services myself. I'm now into the 12 Year of owner my little corsa. Thanks James you saved me a fortune.

they were factory filters, except the oil, funny thing they are mileage dependant in the service schedule, it could be the main dealer only did the first three years and it was within miles to not replace, or like many main stealers they couldn't be arsed

Thanks for encouraging me to do this service, plus spark plugs, on a newly acquired Roomster 1.2 tsi. I hated changing the fuel filter, struggled like hell pulling off the hoses, got petrol in my face. Bad design VW. Cabin filter- I actually put my hand in to find which way the vent blows. Spark plugs - got myself a £40 torque wrench. For pulling off the cables and for pushing them back in, I’m going to get a tool, as when using just ordinary pliers was very clumsy, potentially damaging. Oil change - got 10 litres 5w-40 from Halfords, used 5l to flush. Like the oil filter access. Will definitely consider servicing myself, deep mistrust of local garages. Cheers.

Need to fill the oil filter before installing. Add oil, then push the centre down with something blunt, it'll allow the oil to enter the filter, continue until no more can go in. Also the oil level should be checked when HOT so you've probably overfilled it. Coolant also is low, needs to be full at COLD. Probably needs brake fluid changed, mechatronic oil changed, hinges oiled, tyres rotated; so quite a bit more.

I got my C&G many years ago as a motor mechanic, why do you see people use the old burn dirty oil on oil filter O rings, when you have a 5 litres of new oil just sitting there. Also, why don't people use a measuring jug to pour the fresh oil into the engine. When draining the old oil, remove the oil filler cap and drip stick. Try this next time, drain the old oil, then remove the filler cap and dip stick, and see how much old oil comes out.

There is supposed to be a grommet and the one way valve slides in. How did you reattach yours? Apparently people don’t notice and a petrol smell results.
