Thanks Rob. 5 years on, you're excellent video is still helping people like myself.
Great demo video and easy to follow instructions too.
Many thanks. 👍👍👍🍺
Glad it’s helped. Thanks
Your an absolute legend. Me and my wife were stranded in Scotland after driving up for southern England and the fuel pump packed up. Thanks to your video, you saved our bacon. Thanks very much
Super vid Rob, very easy to follow, thanks for your time in uploading it.
Done it today Thanks to this video. Was not as bad as I thought, but did take a while for first time.
Nice video .I used to fill the new filter with diesel on my Renault Espace 2 2,1 TD , EVEN fitted with a primer .
Thank you for doing this video.
I've been told it was in the wheel arch and that it was a awful job but looks easy, sadly I won't be on a ramp just on the floor with axle stands.
Great job Rob, nice and easy
Very well explained Rob
Thanks, great informative video.
Muy bueno el vídeo, grabado al detalle, increíble!!!! Gracias, un saludo

Well put together thanks
Thank you. Great video.
fantastic video thanks!!!

Good job! Thanks a lot!
thanks rob great tip will change fuel filter for my mate.
Great video I done mine today but the torx screws that hold the heater element well they was rounded off doh new ones ordered

I havent find a Workaround now but i saw you pumping the bag and i trying it at my megane. After that i saw air inside tubing. No i have to find the leak. Greetins from germany an ty
Superb thank, tricky but I will attempt it...
Thanks for sharing this 👍👍
Your welcome, hope it helps you out.
very well explained
Thanks for a great video - Thanks for your help.
For anyone like myself who had a faulty primer hand pump. Grab a small plastic bag and wrap it round the end of the fuel pipe when you squeeze let the bag loos then tighten around end when releasing. It creates a valve and will pull fuel through.
Hi, your video is really good and all the steps are explained in detail! I have megane 2014. with 1.6 dci engine and on this engine there is no hand pump, is the process the same on this engine?
Great video Rob! Thanks to this, I'll have a crack at changing the fuel filter myself this weekend. I'm having some issues with 'Check Injection System' like many others in the comments. I've been recommended to use Liqui Moly Diesel Purge and I've seen different ways to use it. Any thoughts on how to use Liqui Moly most effectively to clean Injectors?
I read that you can dip the 'inlet' and 'outlet' pipes you've shown above the fuel filter into the Liqui Moly itself and run it through... or am I being daft? Thanks!!
Good job thanks
perfect vid
Good vídeo😁😉
Thanks Rob
Hi. My mk3 is 2012 and 1.5dci with 90hp. Is the filter the same like on this model or ... ? Thanks for the video.
When I look at the black fuel pump where you bleed the diesel into the lines it's all squeezed in I popped it back out but when I start the car up it all squeezed in again. Just wanted to know if its supposed stay hard? And would that make the stop light come on and say you have a injector fault. Hope you can get back to me soon thank you so much
Great! Bedankt ;-)
!
Grazie mi sarà utile
Thanks
I know this is an old video - but 4:33. on my Megan the green clip is as seen in the video but the white clip is totally different any idea how to work out how to remove it? cheers. - solved for anyone who sees this. The valve was turned around and I needed to take the headlamp out to be able to see the white tab.
Great tip...been having issues with anti pollution and check injection system warnings...after using scanning tool with the usual MAF sensor code wanted to go back to basics and was hunting around for filter and bingo your video...have you ever changed a turbo on one of these..a lot of people are saying it's an engine out job...👍👍
Thanks. Never done a turbo only exhaust temp sensor near the turbo that had failed causing a DPF blockage.
@@OneAuto many thanks...I find it strange on all the forums I can't find anyone who has personally changed one....mate of mine has the megane 1.5 sports tourer and the turbo shit itself and he was charged £2500 at mate's rates to fit a new turbo due to having to remove sub frame and engine...There is more than a smear of oil in the turbo outlet to intercooler and it may well be on its way out..whilst I don't have a problem removing the engine on my drive I think I will have to suck it and see and try and get it off and see how it goes...👍👍
Richard iv just bought one of these cars and I cant believe youve just said about check injection warning light , thats on mine too!! And the when I put in scan tool it cam up MAF sensor 🤣🤣. Guessing this is a common fault ?
Did changing the fuel filter make it go away ??
@@rustybaws5313 Hi David...Changing the filter definitely sorted out check injection waring light.... judging by the condition of the filter I don't think it ever has been changed... but anti pollution light was still on...after repeatedly re setting it for about a week and keeping the revs up in 4th or 5th gear on dual carriageways it finally didn't come back on again...fingers crossed it's been off about two weeks now...it's the wife's car and does a lot of stop/start local runs...👍👍
Thanks a lot for this video.
Can you pls do a clutch pedal adjustment on the same model.
Thanks in advanced.
You cant, its not a cable operated clutch
I wonder if its the same for the 1.9dci. Hope theres the same amount of room… Atleast with oil filter there was considerably less room on the 1.9 versus the 1.5.
If you ever have a chance to do a automatic gear box oil and filter change will be so amazing . There are NO complete videos out there on how to change filter and oil at gear box . Thank you
is this located in the same postion on the Grand Scenic 2011 ?
Hi . would you happen to know about a fault code df004 on a renault megane 2008 m/y stop switch circuit would that be the brake light or the actual stop button i have no idea have you ever came across this before ? many thanks
Very helpful video, I see lots of bubbles in those clear fuel lines on my megane. Could this be because the fuel filter is due for a change?
Don't worry about the bubbles. When I changed mine for 4 years ago I was scared about the bubbles too. But it still works great with some bubbles. Regards
thanks!
Hi, very nice video! Do you have video on how to change the coolant antifreeze on Megane Mk3? Thanks.
Glad u liked it. No vid as yet on coolant. Cheers 🍻
Nice video. Some effort to replace a fuel filter. Thanks.
Excellent video Rob. Very useful. I'm going to change mine tomorrow as I'm having to prime my engine everytime to to start it,but once it's running it drives perfectly,but the minute you turn the engine off you have to prime it again to start it,so I'm hoping it's just the old fuel filter badly clogged or an air lock somewhere in the clear diesel lines.Any ideas?
Actually, the reason the engine stalled in this video was probably because the low pressure (LP) fuel line wasn't bled out, it was still full of air which had only been merely compressed by operating the bulb pump. You could see the top loop of LP tube was still full of air. As the HP fuel pump relies totally on the diesel oil for lubrication, and operates at extremely high pressure ( once primed), it's very bad for them to be spun over dry. What you should do to actually 'bleed' the air out is pretty similar to brake bleeding; just press the little bleed valve on the top of the LP tube inlet banjo on the HP pump, whilst operating the bulb pump until the tube is full of fuel with no or only tiny bubbles. It's worth making up a plastic bleed tube approx 11mm ID, with a pin pressed through it across the centre approx 8mm from the end, to operate the bleed valve so you can direct the waste diesel into a bucket, rather than all over the engine. You may have to pump quite firmly because the bleed nipple isn't at the highest point, so you need enough flow to chase the air downwards out of that top loop of LP tube.
But for your particular problem, it's possible the bleed nipple is leaking air inwards such that when you turn the engine off and the fuel tries to drain down to the lowest point, air is sneaking in through the bleed nipple, but which seals OK under under positive pressure. If you do the bleeding through the nipple, and operate the nipple a few extra times to excercise it, hopefully it will clean itself and seal OK. Also check it's got positive spring closing pressure, when not pressurized. just like a tyre valve. Hope this helps. Good luck. Allan.
@@The007Weasel Thanks Alan for all your help,did exactly what you said.Discovered the bleed pump ball was split on the one end thus sucking in air as you described.replaced with new bleed pump and problem now solved.Thank you so much for your knowledge.
So much easier when you have a priming bulb. I've got a vectra c 2.0dti and they dont have the priming bulbs, well the DTI engines don't but the CDTI engines do, the DTI engines take forever to restart when you change the fuel filter . I decided to fit a priming bulb in the fuel line on my DTI and it starts straight away when you change the filter now. No more cracking the injector nuts to bleed the air. But I must add, changing the filter is so much easier on the vectra than that Megane. The location on that Megane is pritty stupid.
We’re does the air go when priming, cheers
Same for my Dacia. 😉
My fuel line has air bubbles going through the clear lines, what would be the issue here as it has been in for a service.
Would this be the same process for the Nissan Juke 1.5DCi? I believe they are the same engine?
yes. same engine.
I have changed my filter and using primer bulb but engine still won’t start. Is there an easy way to bleed the air out the engine or will I need to crack the injectors
Hi Rob, can you do a how to video about the oil change and oil filter on this particular model, the renault megane 3 - 1.5 dci ?
Sure.. next time I get one in 👍
Thnks man, keep doing these videos, im sure they've helped mant people 👍
Hi there, loved the vid very informative, I got a question for you if that's ok, my megane is hunting at idle intermittantly and I'm seeing bubbles in the fuel line situated after the primer bulb intermittently. I have had injectors cleaned and bench tested and all were ok, I've changed the egr valve, ran diesel cleaner, scanned ecu and no codes, changed glow plugs, although one thing i did change was the diesel filter but I'm thinking if they didn't change the seals and just dumped the filter in, is air bubbles intermittently in the pipe normal and can it be from the fuel filter and can air in fuel cause hunting at idle? Otherwise car drives perfectly fine when I'm driving its just idling I'm having issues with. Thanks really need ur help as I'm in so mucb agony with my Renault.😊😭
Hi did you solved your problem? I have the same issues like you. Bubbles in the fuel line, vibration on iddleing?
hei rob! how long have you been working as a car mechanic? this realy helped me and my friend btw! thank u
HaHa tool long.. Glad it helped
Great flick, just what I was after! My car is a Renault megane sports tourer mk3 1.5dci 2011 but I cannot find the correct fuel filter as they all look different with different part numbers etc...can u help me please? Cheers 👍
There are often options. I buy all the options and take back the ones I don’t use.
One Auto, I was gonna order off ebay but the options are endless plus when asks what vehicle, mine never comes up! Thanks for the reply...
Good video, so now I want to change mine. Which one do I buy? Is there any way of knowing if the connection is for a water sensor or one without the connection without taking the wheel & lining off?
It’s the same filter, just screw in the drain and or sensor from your old filter. Your local motor factor will fix you up with the right filter from the cars reg number
@@OneAuto Cheers Rob
what's the type of diesel should be puting in the tank for common rail system a bio diesel or normal diesel and thank's
Normal over here.
Do you know if a Megane II 1.5dci has the filter in the same place?
ComandanteJ yes
I have a question
Not very serviceable like the VWs.. but it's nice that they put a manual primer in there for you from factory!
Yes very considerate of them. It makes up for the hiding place of the filter.
hi Rob, I have a 2010 1.5DCi Scenic. My fuel pipes seem to have black squared plastic on the ends of the pipes. It looks like there is green and white underneath these squares. How do I get to the connections to release them? Thanks Shaun
You have to depress the coloured squares to remove the pipe. If access is tight you can buy some special pliers that do just that
@@OneAuto Thanks for replying Rob. The holes are only about 2.5mm square BUT the holes aren't opposite each other. The pliers look like the prongs are opposite each other. Am I missing something? Thanks again, Shaun
Send me a photo of them officialoneauto@gmail.com
@@OneAuto Thanks Rob, will be later in the week. Shaun
I'm gonna try to do it on a petrol car. You reckon is the same? On petrol?
It may not have a petrol filter. A lot of petrol cars have in tank lifetime filters
😓 I bought a fuel filter 😂😂 the web site I got if from said it was compatible. 😂😂 I really hope you are right. Thanks a lot for the video. Always helps learning something new.
Did you fill the new filter vid diesel or did mont it emty?
Empty, then bleed diesel through with the priming ball. See 12:26
One Auto, Thanks! Very nice video. Regards from Sweden :)
could you please show us how to drain the water from that filter?
Piotr Bochenek at 5:20 undo the drain at the bottom of the filter. Any water will be at the bottom of the filter and will come out first.
hi. thank you for quick response. I've done service on my Renault Scenic 1.5 dci k9k (mk3) 2013, I opened the screw and I thought that I did something wrong as diesel (obviously) started coming out. I'm glad that's normal. thank you.
👍💯💯
Great video thanks man. Typical french make it awkward
What is the changing interval?? 30.000 km? 60.000km??
Hasan Kaya The fuel filter intervals in the car in this video is recommended every 36000 Miles. So approx 58000km
definitely French engineering
You know it!
Better than Ford engineering
Warning: you may breake diesel filter clips.
Only the French can put a fuel filter in a awkward place. 😅
Thanks
