Title: Estate Fuel Filter
Post by macattack on Aug 7^th, 2005, 11:01am

Hi, all I think I need to replace my fuel filter on my 97 estate 2.3. Had a look over the site and can only find mention of the filter location on the sedan (begind the license plate). Clearly I doubt it's there on the estate.

Can anyone advise on it's location for the estate?

cheers

If you get underneath the rear of the car, the fuel filter is mounted next to the petrol tank. It's the round filter with a pipe inline on each end - not the square one (which is the EVAP canister).
Be prepared for fuel spillage when you undo it. ;)
