- Also Cutting Open Old Filter After 147000 Miles.
The fuel filter was getting on a bit, it is the original one from new.
In this video I show how to replace the filter in a step by step guide, then I cut open both a new filter and a old one to compare the elements, as Bmw state the diesel fuel filter is a lifetime filter, although how long is a "lifetime", with some really interesting results.
Most Bmw models use one of two filters, including 1Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series.
This car is a 318 d and is identical to the 320 d.
Thanks for watching.

Hi great vid as always well in depth i have a 3 series 18i petrol question what side of my car is the fuel filter thanks
I think its in the same place, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Did my F10 520d a year ago... fortunately was supplied with correct filter lol didn’t know they are supposedly a “life” filter though?! Shocking difference in quality though, but that first (wrong) filter was a “budget” Frame one!
its always interesting to see what's inside stuff, and from the outside the Fram filter didn't look bad, but I definitely try a different brand after seeing the inside. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Really good vid. Any tips for jacking and supporting a single wheel on the f30? Where to place jack stands?
Jack the vehicle using the rubber jacking points under the sill only support with axle stands on the subframe and not on any aluminium suspension components Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 thanks! Any tips for locating points on the sub frame. Looks all the same with all the covers. Could do with a video! :D
Ant, there are numerous vids on YT about FRAM filters being of poor quality. I now always pay a couple of pound extra and insist on Bosch filters from Euro Car Parts whenever I service our cars. :)
There was a big difference in the quality of the two filters, I think Bmw original fuel filters are made by Mahle, I would like to cut open a Bosch to see if it lives up to the brand, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I haven’t changed my fuel filter for a few years on my e93 320d. Have I clogged the injectors and caused damaged? I haven’t seen an issue with the car so far
Then no I wouldn't worry, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi pal. What year is your car? Mine is a 2011 318d e91 and I'm not sure if my fuel filter will be the the same as the one that came from your car, the one with the male end or the wrong filter you bought with the female end? Thank you
this one is a 2010, so I would think yours will be the same, earlier models will have the other one, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 that's good to know. Your video is the only one on here with the male end kind of filter. Thank you
@@tonyc9793 from 02/2010 is the "new" one ;)
Any idea how to change the pre heater mate ?
It is attached to the fuel filter just undo it, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hello,. I'm missing the undertray that covers the diesel fuel filter. Do you know the part number? Thanks
The main dealers will just pull it up on their computer if you give them your registration,
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Go to realoem.com and check.
Hi does this improve fuel consumption?
Not at all made no difference 😂 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Did this with my bmw 320d this morning lucky the one I got was the correct one for this car just popped straight but car still is not starting at all any ideas ? Just keeps cranking
You must have a air lock, a small sniff of easy start in the air cleaner might shift it, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 tried easy start bud still wouldnt start it
Recommend anything else I can try
is the in tank pump priming?
Yes aa man checked it and said it was fine
I did exactly the same with the filter as you did before I watched your video and got the wrong one.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I don't think you should be cranking that without diesel in the hpfp, it can cause damage as the diesel lubricates it. You should be priming the low pressure pump with Ediabas software available free online. Don't get me wrong I have done the same when I didn't know any better but its not the proper way.
The system primes on ignition, so the high pressure fuel pump wont run dry, the air generally gets stuck post pump, Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
If you do it via ediabas it will force the low pressure delivery pump (the one in the fuel tank) to run for like 30 seconds without the engine turning, then the computer would tell you to start the engine and the software will make it run at a high idle (2000 rpm iirc) for about another minute. That surely works better in evacuating the air bubbles than just cycling the ignition which makes the fuel delivery pump run for say about only two seconds every time…
Plaggeh? That sounds like a Leicester word.
yep, 😂Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
so true,Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
