Warning

Removal of the fuel filter involves partial dismantling of the car's fuel system. The following points must therefore be observed in connection with this work:
•	Make sure a class BE fire extinguisher is close to hand! Consider the risk of sparking, e.g. when breaking circuits, short-circuits etc.
•	Absolutely No Smoking!
•	Ensure that there is a good exchange of air. If approved ventilation for the extraction of fuel fumes is available, this should be used.
•	Wear protective gloves! Prolonged exposure of the hands to fuel can cause irritation to the skin.
•	Wear protective goggles.

To remove

Important
Be very thorough in terms of cleanliness when working in the fuel system. Malfunctions can also occur due to very small dirt particles.

Detach the connector for the heating element (B) and the water level sensor (C).

Remove the fuel pipes' quick couplings (A) and plug them. Use 83 95 261 Fuel line tool.

Remove the bolts for the holder (B).

To fit

Position the fuel filter housing and fit the holder's bolts (B).

Fit the fuel pipes' quick couplings (A).

Plug in the connector for the heating element (B) and the water level sensor (C).
