where the hell is the fuel filter???????

keefee · Sep 1, 2010

anyone know where the fuel filter is on a 98 1.8 freelander.
car runs fine for ages then starts to lack power and cuts out.
after a a while it will start and if you leave it ticking over for a while will drive off ok. I have been told its the fuel filter, I picked one up (silver cylinder) but dont know where to stick it (yes yes on a post card please)
any help would get me in the wifes good books

cheers

Hello there.

According to RAVE its in the fuel tank

Fuel Filter should be changed at the 120,000 mile service according to RAVE

You'll have to remove the pump from the tank, it slips and clips into the pump.

Just take out the plastic gauze and blast it with some thinners and the airline. messy but saves you £30 plus VAT

Fuel pressure needs checked at the pump and the inlet manifold, could also be blocked vent in the fuel tank

I cleaned out my gauze in my bathroom sink with a bit of swarfega, worked a treat but fooking glad i wasn't at my parents still. My mum would have killed me for the mess it made!

You should have got your mother to do it for you, 40 degree spin cycle perhaps

Swarf - real mans kitchen/bathroom cleaner, it's not cheap these days!

Thanks for all your input.
Found the fault to be a pump relay but cleaned the pump screen anyway.
Going to move on to the 3 amigos now,
plugged in the lap top, no ABS system found !!!
I know its there some where !!!! i have the lights to prove it !!!!
Wish me luck.
