Doblo Fuel Filter

This may sound a stupid question, but does anyone know if thers a fuel filter in the doblo multijet ? The guy at the motor factors said there may not be one fitted

Multijet?
Yes, all Diesels have a fuel filter.

I think I can see the filter, I assume its that round black plastic thing on the top left hand side of the engine. Can anyone tell me how I get it open to get the filter out ?

Hi mate... here is a quick guide for you

1. Undo the fuel filler cap to de-pressurize the system.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector at the top of the fuel filter (Pre-heat device)
3. Disconnect the 3 rapid fit fuel line connectors. (remember which one goes into which port) ((just squeeze the two bits in and pull))
4. Undo the 2 13mm bolts that secure the filter assembly to the bulkhead
5. Slowly lift the filter assembly upward to reveal the water in diesel wiring connector at the base of the filter. Disconnect this.
6. Take the whole assembly out of the engine bay.
7. Unscrew the top of the filter assembly to reveal the filter inside.

Hope that helps,

Hi mate,

EDIT: This is in response to the below question that was originally above (dunno how it switched)??? So those prices are for diesel filter not oil filter.

Chances are mark that fiat are the only ones to make the fuel filter the one for 1.9 multijet is £53 and NEEDS changing at every service as I'm sure so does yours.
Pound wise and penny foolish!!!!!! repace your fuel filter and air filter in line with your service schedule as both are as important ,as your oil and oil filter.

Fiat dealers aren't ripping you off its the price Fiat put on there parts listed price is about £ 29 you can get it cheaper at www.shop4parts.co.uk but there is a carriage charge which negates the savings.

if its a struggle any small quality independent would only charge half an hours work to change a couple of filters.

Well said that man!
