Diesel Filter Change

[james-rav4]

Recently bought a 2012(62) 2.2 D4D

Was wondering when the fuel filter should be changed , on 31000 miles.

Just a quick warning if you are changing it yourself make sure you have pressure when you press the black purging plunger on top of filter housing before you start. I have changed loads and about 30% of the Toyota's the diaphram was not operative, so you can't bleed the system, makes it more involved...and your heart will be in your mouth when it starts then cuts out...

changed on the weekend.

took the whole unit off as it was easier that way.

straight forward really.

the diaphram was fine so could fill the filter with diesel so no cut out.

ok for a few years now!!
