Thanks, I need to do all these on a V70 D4 VEA - oil filter looks like a bigger faff (and even messier!) than on my old 2002 V40, likewise the fuel filter is also in a weird location making it harder to access (the V40 also had a handpump to re-prime the pipes) Edit: you had me worried for a moment as the new filter I have is a cartridge type one, much like the oil filter - seems there are some variances in the D4s - it is still located somewhere at the back between the axle however - according to VIDA, just to make it more challenging 😬

Interesting, I thought those filter types are only used on the 5 cylinders. Good information 👍 Regards.

Hello. Can the volvo bleed the air self out when you change the fuel filter? I did this be just start the car for 3-4 times. Since i do not have vida would love to hear if this is ok to do so?

[@GSAuto681]

It will do. Different practice after fuel filter change is to start the engine and hold revs at about 2000rpm for a few seconds. Given this step is not included in the maintenance instructions, It's probably not critical if you skip it.
