Thanks a ton mate, i was just changing my tires and wondered if i should replace the filter too while i had it in the garage. Saw that filter housing next to the tank and couldn't believe my eyes, a fuel filter in such a convenient place :D I had to check from CZcams if this was indeed the case and it sure was.
Hi Dave great video thanks very much just changed my fuel filter on my zafira tourer 2.0 cdti I had no clue it was under the car 👍🏻, quick question if you don’t mind me asking, have you any idea we’re the map sensor is located on my zafira tourer 2.0, having a bit of ruff idling, iv cleaned the throttle boddy which was full of soot and was pretty bad actually and there still is lots of soot going into the engine after the throttle boddy, so was just wondering if you know we’re the map sensor is cheers Jim
My spare car is a zafira b 1.7 diesel , bought it in 2011 when it was a year old , and with all of the recalls and fires , decided just to keep it instead of trading it in , brilliant car for motorways , and heading to cairnryan ..... when I changed the diesel filter on mine it was inside the engine bay and I had to take the scuttle boards at the bottom of the windows off , another good video as per usual , cheers Dave 👍
Dave i use a couple of cotton buds and clean out the diesel in the seal recess so the recess is really dry. Only takes a few seconds. The seal then stays in ok with friction while you screw up the filter lid.
plummer grease food save or the brake rubber grease but id say food save plummer grease be more easy to get otherwise vasseline petroleum jelly or what ever it is called. anything else could cause problems having said that i use molley grease to build fuel injector pumps but not sure if it woyld be plastic save the other ones should be ok.
i have this engine in a 2012 Astra and i keep getting the message service vehicle soon and lacks power. Had it the garage they changed the fuel sensor but its still the same. Could it be the fuel filter?

some have it underneath the car next to the tank, some have it inside the tank, some have it in the engine bay at the top - Skoda Octavia II has the fuel filter at the top of engine bay, right behind the right light, best placed fuel filter I've ever seen. Shame they changed the filter dimensions throughout the production, so you gotta keep an eye on what you buy - I did not know, so I had to buy the fuel filter twice.

Thankyou from Essex, England, for the tutorial. I'll be giving this a go next weekend!
Great tips Dave...looks like a lovely day there....
Cheers johnny, recorded that a few weeks ago. Weather here has gone back to damp
Nice work Dave. Cheers Pal
Cheers Ian
Love the F1 sound at start of video's Dave, when F1 cars sounded proper 😁😁😁
Thats a Ferrari V10 at Monza
Thank you for this video
Brilliant video. Most other videos show filter under bonnet. Exactly same as mine this video saved me a lot of time

Cheers ian, aye you can pick up these vauxhalls pretty cheap too
La mejor manera de purgar el filtro.
Y sin usar cebadores manuales.
Correcto. 👍

Good 'tip'
I find on this engine if you don't bring them for a good run you end up with a long crank.
Dave do all astra bleed with key ?

Does the error code appear on the screen after the diesel filter is changed?
you cant beat some silicone grease i do the same Dave.. a lot of people go wrong by over tighten them to dave.
Yeah ian, have seen them leaking and tightened to the max cos seal isnt seated
she quite clean underneath . wot year was it . i find vinyl gloves better for use with diesel
2014 i think, this one's from a while ago
What "make" are those gloves please Dave ?

Service vehicle soon means there is an engine fault. Need to get a diagnosis
@@davesterl the garage i took it put in on the diagnostic

@@davesterl very helpful mate thanks
I have this issue on a 2012 tourer. Was it the fuel filter?
A very strange place for a diesel filter ? Is it just Vauxhall’s that have a filter under the car ?
Loadsa cars have the filter underneath, bmw audi seat lexus etc
dave sterl thank for the information 👍have my yeti has it in a nice easy place to get to 👍

Id rather the filter was under there then tucked down the side of the engine...
Yeah shaun, some of the honda filters are buried, for example
