I know once in the cars lifetime it has had the fuel filter changed, but IIRC that would of been around 60k, my car has done 120k now and runs sweet as a nut. I would do it myself as i have a idea how you'd do it.

But, is it worth changing it?

IIRC cant the cansister get rust in etc and the filter get slighter dirty, or do i wait until signs of it need replacing???.

I can do it myself just wondering if its worth it?. Seems a pain in the arse getting to it, roof down and remove plastic panels on shelf? I presume it would take about 2 hours.

Also, do i need to replace the existing gasket?

Cheers

 

Just replace it Adam, prob wont do much but hey it will be off your mind, when i did mine it was just discoloured but still fine but that had only done 71k!!!



Oh and i never replaced any gaskets neither!

 

Nice one thanks Steve.

Would 2 hours be enough time to change it?

 

Prob a lot less to be honest, once the panels are off its just 6 bolts if i remember right and it lifts out, just be carefull of the electrical connector, i removed the battery earth terminal and the fuel filler cap, read my Supercharger install if you get stuck buddy.

I meant to ask hows your fettle?

 

I'm fine fella bit bored, but just relaxing with just having my having shoulder surgery.

Cant really do much having only 1 functional arm lol, im slowly getting movement back in the other but need to see the physio tommorow.

Hows u?, when you getting married is it this year?

 

Glad your getting there! yep July 11th, its getting close now so ive been booking the honeymonn and the usual, im looking forward to it

 

Changed mine last year at 68k , and its not too bad of a job TBH, although a bit fidgety. The old filter had a slight orange tinge to it, but nothing major.

Just be very careful when you detach it from the fuel meter, as its a bit fragile.

 

Did you replace the gasket?, Honda said to me last time to replace it, i dont want shite getting in there

 

Ohhh itchy feet fella congrats. I will pop down sometime i always seem to go to bowl etc when your not in, might need help with my guitar again

I can chaffuer you if you want in the S lol , but Mrs Adair might need to sit on the boot lol
