supRo Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Seeing as no ones replied yet, I have a Turbo and the fuel filter runs along the chassis near the front passenger door, I think within a foot of it. Jack tha car up and you should see it. Check it before you order a new one as it may not be the standard filter, as is on mines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 are they easy to change with the car jacked up or would you be better off doing it on ramps with the car in the air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Provided you have the correct tools it's not too bad. Use a flare nut spanner or you risk stripping the thread on the fuel line, which would be bad. When I did mine it started absolutely pissing it down just when I was about to fit the new one. I was lying in a large puddle with hypothermia starting to set in and tried to bolt the new one on a bit too quickly and ended up stripping the thread on the new filter. Had to put the old one back and order another one from Toyota, very annoying. So take your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroMatt Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'm also planning on replacing mine too as I have no idea when (if ever) it was last changed. So is it simply a matter of unbolting old the old one, bolting on the new one and jobs a goodun? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepare yourself with some rags to soak up the fuel that will spray out under pressure when you first loosen the pipe, and as Simon says, be careful not to cross thread the pipes when you fit the new one. Oh, and no smoking! :flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
