Derek Uzzell Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Steve928 - 2019-01-27 4:10 PM ...I think that I've now done 4 filter changes (on this and the previous van) using the correct tool and without issue thus far... Steve As you use the recommended tool to hold the filter-unit when replacing its cartridge (and I’m certain that you have an accurate torque-wrench) do you tighten the clamping-ring to 30Nm or to a different value?

monique.hubrechtsgm Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Air pressure leak test is 10 percent above MWP. Not 20 And whit a inert gas like nitrogen N2. Also good for your tyres to fill instead of air. But in this air can do as long you can control the air pressure by a regulator to avoid blow aways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I torque it to 30Nm, Derek, using a Norbar 8 - 54Nm wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euroserv Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hi. Just a little extra background on these filters.... On the Euro4 and later Euro3 Fiat ducato there was a plastic filter housing in green with a black top. The PSA engines (2.2) had a completely black housing and while at a glance they seem similar, the connection points for the fuel hoses are slightly different. You cannot put a Fiat unit on a Peugeot because it will not fit. The black ones that fit the PSA appear to be more robust but my knowledge of this is limited. The Euro5 Fiats have a metal canister filter and these are no trouble at all. The Euro6 Fiat and PSA vehicles have a heated fuel filter assembly that is entirely different. Is is of aluminium construction, has a lid secured with allen screws and the whole assembly has to be removed in order to change the element. It will take a bit longer to do the job and will be a little messy but this should be reliable. A complete new heated filter assembly will set you back £250 or so if you ever need one but i doubt if anyone will. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Photo attached of the filter-unit used on Euro 6 Ducatos (The unit carries the words “MADE IN INDIA”.)

monique.hubrechtsgm Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The housing has to take temp gradients from the heating of fuel in euro 6. To avoid paraffin and fast upheat of the engine and interior. My engine is explained on a PDF on internet The EA288 engine family. it is not just a filter but a key component in the fuel line. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monique.hubrechtsgm Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Look at page 39/76. And you are updated whit euro 6.And yes Vw has still problems to meet real NOx whit this engine family. whit a safety bear lock on the computer. Text by my partner. I have not a clue what is under bonnet, as long as it drives. Spend the whole day how to turn my driver swivel seat 180 degrees in his new van.
