Its easy to unscrew in situ, sometimes it can be hard to turn so to avoid messing it up remove the whole filter and clamp gently in a vice and use a strap to help turn the plastic locking ring A pro tip if the L200 is a town car and 4wd isn't used much lubricate the 4wd selector shaft as it can corrode and get stuck in 2wd, pull back the rubber boot to inspect/clean and lube, engage 4wd to make sure it works. Another tip which I've just encountered on a customers L200 I look after which went into mistubishi for warranty work, the transfer box rubber bush was advised by main dealer to be replaced as the rubber had come away from the metal, this is a floating bush as long as there is rubber around the center metal/bolt and around the outside then it doesn't need to be replaced as it's ment to move around inside.
Yeah they have all kinds of ways around dodging warranty claims, hence I was pleased to get rid of mine. Yes usually when they are tight on most vehicles I just remove the whole housing and do it on the bench, plus saves diesel going everywhere under the bonnet and leaking onto customers driveways
Canny jerb that like 👍 One thing to flag up is, not sure if this applies to the L200 mind you, but *usually* you don't need to manually refill the filter housing with diesel. All you need to do is (started life as a car mechanic back in 1989 btw, later motorcycles) turn the ignition on, obviously without starting the engine, leave it on for 5 seconds, knock ignition off, and repeat the process. What this does is replenish the filter housing with diesel as the fuel pump kicks in automatically on ignition to re-pressurise the system, and there's a one way air valve built into the system which expels air when the housing fills up. Enjoying your content keep it up! Today i just fitted a fancy new gear nerb, rain defence kit (didn't remove the tail lights, thought I'd take my chance with a very short 3mm pilot hole drill bit, lights ok after installation, strategically chopped it a bit to get around the rear canopy housing too) and fitted a rear bumper. Looks lovely, mine being the Titan didn't have one. 😞 Please don't think I'm a know-it-all, cos I'm far from it 😉
No 80% of diesels even to this day don’t have a low pressure in tank lift pumps, you put a dry filter in and get air into the system and you can be on hours trying to start them, stressing the starter/battery and can actually damage the high pressure pump turning it over dry….. so always always always pre fill the filter even if they have in tank pump or not, also those primer bulbs can fracture or split causing air leaks and non starting/ cutting out, so only use them for 2/3 pumps after filling. Yes the water defence kit is a brilliant modification No I fully understand mate 👍🏼
@@CarAddictGarageNE Cheers dude, like I said, I wasn't sure if it applied to the L200 or not. Replaced fuel filter in my 1.9 JTD Multijet Fiat doblo using method I mentioned, started straight away. I guess it's in the 20% minority. 😉
If you don't have a vacuum bleeder or the like to suck out the fuel from the lower part of the housing, you should be able to use the white plastic tap (shaped like a wing nut) on the engine side of the base of the filter housing. That's if you're worried about water collecting in the base of the filter housing
Hi, many thanks for sharing this video, it was very helpful for me. Just one question, is it possible to reset the Check Engine light without a scanner?
No problem mate thanks for watching….. are you referring to the service light, or engine management light? Usually you can reset the odd time an EML by disconnecting the battery for about 10/15 mins.
Yes no problem next time I change a slave or master cylinder, I would always recommend a power bleeder using compressed air for vacuum, as clutches can be a nightmare to bleed at times Thanks for watching 👍🏼

@@CarAddictGarageNE ok fair enough, I'm only asking as im getting some juddering and rev limit to about 2000 rpm and my first thought was fuel injector but the diagnostics tool is picking nothing like that up so my next step is fuel filter etc
Keep the l200 vids coming. You are my "Goto" for servicing! Cheers mate.
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍🏼
Thank you , very informative and best explanation on how to change the fuel filter out there
This was one of my first videos years ago, was a bit roughy and ready.
Thanks for you comments 👍🏼
Thanks this video , I change my L-200 diesel filter , the way u done all this stuff ,its the best and Easy way. Thanks again.
Thanks for your reply and supporting the channel 👍🏼
Yes I find this the easiest way, can’t see the need to remove the whole housing like some do?

Yeah like said about 20% have a lift pump, even then you risk if they don’t work, you turn it over and get air into the HP pump and your in trouble
Super vidéo la prochaine fois je change moi même le filtre gazoil de ma Mitsubishi j' ai la même voiture année 2017
Yes easy job 👍🏼
More of L200 vids, thanks for the info.
Unfortunately I sold the L200 about a year ago mate.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
This was a nice easy job, just done it. Thanks
Thanks for watching 👍🏼 happy I could help

Yes that’s good idea 👍🏼
Only thing that puts me off touching such like drain plugs on fuel filters and radiators, is they can start to leak afterwards
@@CarAddictGarageNE Good point, might make me think twice about using the filter housing tap when I service my Triton in a few weeks. Cheers
Yes you have to be very careful…. Technically it’s the right way, but sometimes the right way is not always the way on older vehicles
Good video man very informative 👍
Appreciate it …. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Nice one, very well explained 👍👍
Thanks mate appreciate it 👍🏼
Thank you, very informative.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Thanks for this video, Brilliant.
Thank you for watching mate 👍🏼
Thanks so much for these videos. How do you stop the chimes when you are not sitting in the vehicle and starting up?
Thanks 👍🏼
I’m not sure how you stop them, in all honesty.
Mine used to annoying be beeping every time I started it up
Very useful vid.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Thanks, I'm referring to yellow Check Engine, not the maintenance. I'm guessing that it came because of the old diesel filter that was too saturated.
Thank you very useful
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Hi Mate any chance you could include a clutch bleed on one of these cars? great videos and thanks to you.
Yes no problem next time I change a slave or master cylinder, I would always recommend a power bleeder using compressed air for vacuum, as clutches can be a nightmare to bleed at times
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
The plastic fuel filter housing ring moves a quarter turn but then gets stuck. Any tips how to get it off?
Previous person won’t have lubricated the seal, spray a bit freeing oil into the threads and keep trying but go easy.
Thanks man!
No problem, thanks for watching 👍🏼
You'll need to invest in a gopro. Great video none the less, thanks mate

Quick question. I’ve just got a 2016 (66 plate) l200. Barbarian spec with auto gearbox. Is this a chain or belt type 2.4 engine?
Hi, assume yours is an early series 5 all the 2.4 are chain driven and the 2.5 in the series 4 are belt driven
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
couldnt get all the way in the rosca the twist thing. its stuck ....but it works ok....will check for leaks...is it too important?
Assume you mean the sealing ring, yes that needs to be secure and leak free.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
What filter do you recomnt?
Anything OE Bosch, Mann
What is a number part of the filter diésel?
I honestly can’t remember this was recorded years ago sorry
What is part number for this fuel filter?
I can’t remember off hand.
But if you watch this video I have the filter in this video, you should be able to see part number on the box.

@@CarAddictGarageNE tq bro for that info..
No problem thanks for watching
out of curiosity why are you changing yours?
The fuel filter I assume your referring to?
It’s part of the second service Mitsubishi have scheduled oil change and fuel filter change
@@CarAddictGarageNE ok fair enough, I'm only asking as im getting some juddering and rev limit to about 2000 rpm and my first thought was fuel injector but the diagnostics tool is picking nothing like that up so my next step is fuel filter etc
You not getting any fault codes at all?
@@CarAddictGarageNE no not a single one
Sounds like it could be a blocked DPF or boost leak…. But would expect codes.
