Alphas 2nd Gear December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 Well my 10 year old car got the COE renewed so am thinking of replacing the fuel filter, not oil filter, not air filter. The fuel filter is in the fuel pump near the fuel tank. CnC quote 600 to replace both the fuel pump and filer as it comes together in as assembly, should I change it, it is pretty ex but the filter should be already dirty. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
namele55777 1st Gear December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 what's the mileage on your car? are you the first owner? I had a toyota vios once and borneo recommended changing the fuel filter every 80k. I think it's a good idea to replace for your 10 year old car. while you are at it, let the agent to have a major service/overhaul, replace major wear and tear parts. Since renew coe already then it's worth to pay abit more to ensure stress-free driving for the next 5 or 10 years. if you have 10 minutes you should watch this video: it's quite informative and the person recommended 50-75k miles = 80-120k km. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkl22 Twincharged December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 If you pump mainly fuel in Singapore the fuel is clean. Every 100k km is fine. I would say that even 150k km you might not detect any pressure difference with a new filter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinelli_ck 6th Gear December 31, 2015 Share December 31, 2015 personally, i would not stretch the replacement of a fuel filter beyond two major servicing cycles. for the average drivers, that's about four years or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphas 2nd Gear January 1, 2016 Author Share January 1, 2016 mileage is 130K , KIA cerato V1. Maybe it is possible to change only the filter, but need to dismantle the assembly from the fuel pump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic January 1, 2016 Share January 1, 2016 mileage is 130K , KIA cerato V1. Maybe it is possible to change only the filter, but need to dismantle the assembly from the fuel pump. I changed my Getz fuel filter before. Need to disengage the filter from the pump. The 3 big plastic clips is easy to break. That's why they like changing the whole thing, easy job for them. Btw, the filter is about $25 only. When you add the whole assembly including pump, it goes over $100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ek3stage 1st Gear March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 I changed mine twice ard 120k n 200k. Dont feel much difference between 80 to 120k, but on my 300k, can feel choking already, so based on my 120k-80k-100k intervals, if sub-100k mileage, 120k shld be fine, but 80k is not really necessary, do at 100k if you want, together with the 100k major servicing more convenient. If diy, better ease the pressure in the fuel line, open the fuel cap n tank cap (depend on your model, mine is under rear car seat). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElisaGrace March 28, 2016 Share March 28, 2016 (edited) What is the model of your car? Are you changing the fuel filter at your own or some auto mechanic has advised you? If you are changing it your own, my advice is that you must consult some professional mechanic, who will rightly guide you. It might also be possible that your fuel filter might work properly after cleaning it. If the problem still persists you must visit car service station.
