Hi Everybody - greetings from sunny South Africa.
This is my first post on this Forum, but I'm sure that there will be many more to follow...
I have a Volvo V50 2.0D which has recently turned over 100 000km, and of which the Volvo maintenance plan has now expired. I'm planning to do the lube-services (10 000km intervals) myself, and only take the car to the dealer for major tune-up services. Now for my questions (if you don't mind...)
I have been told that one needs a special tool to be able to replace the fuel filter (I suppose to bleed the filter, but I'm not sure of this). Is this true, and if so, what does the tool do, and can one make a plan to use something else instead?
How often should one change the fuel filter?
Are there any "tricks" to replacing the fuel filter - do's and dont's?
That's all for now - thanks for responding
Hennie
