There was no pressure when I disconnected the two hoses from the filter. Filling the filter would be slow because the two hose connections have a small diameter. I had no concerns with cranking the engine until the air lock cleared; it wasn't that long.
This looks like exactly what I'm looking for - and yet I have a couple of questions... My car maintenance scheduler says it's time for B1 maintenance. That calls for changing the low-pressure fuel filter element. Is that this, or is the low-pressure element the one in the fuel tank? Also, my civic is a 2015 and the internet seems to think that's 10th generation. But I see in your comments that yours is a 2015 with a "face lift" (not sure what that means). Mine should be the same in this regard? Thanks!
If you go to the wiki page for the Civic 9th generation, then go to the hatchback/tourer section (FK, 2011 onwards) you'll see there was an earlier pre-facelift version up to 2015. Then a facelift version after 2015. Check the pics of each type to know yours, but they're both 9th gen of course. Mine is the later facelift model but it's actually a 2016, I got it wrong in any replies where I've said 2015. Not that it matters from a mechanical point of view.
I've not heard it specifically called that, but it might be. It's before the high pressure pump so is under low pressure. I don't know if there is another filter inside the fuel tank on the 1.6 i-DTEC engines.
Yeah bloody stupid location in my opinion. I imagine there are loads of 1.6 i-DTECs driving around on their original filter because the garage quoted a million quid for the job and the owner said nope.
I couldn't see a specific interval for this in the Honda service book when I looked recently. Because it's a chain and not a belt, I suspect there is no specific interval; just replace if/when there is good reason to. Eventually the chain will wear to the extent that the timing will be slightly out, but this is probably a very long time if you keep up with regular oil changes using the correct oil.
My 1.6idtec has gone into limp mode twice with po087 code,fuel rail pressure low, turning off n restarting the car takes it out of limp mode, could the fuel filter be the problem?
I'm not sure of the replacement interval but I bet it's nowhere near as much as the >100,000 miles my car had done when I replaced it... I think many don't get changed regularly due to the poor access.
@@KomradeShotabollokov every second oil change the fuel filter must be changed in a diesel. That's why the location of it is ridiculous. Honda engineers didn't think at all about it.
It was probably about an hour for me but filming and making sure the lighting and angles are reasonable takes ages. It is much faster without this, of course.
This is a horrid job.. I have a faulty censor so had planned on changing the filter and the censor at the same time. Can see this is going to be an arse.. Thanks for the vid, it's very helpful 👍👍
I found the easiest thing was to take the section of exaust, that is right in your face, off. That gives you the room to get your hands up into the bowels of hell but I could get hands on and found it a lot easier to get the job done. It's still a bi-ac-h but I didn't have to take all the clips off just the normal service cover.
Fair enough, I normally try to avoid removing parts of the exhaust near the engine as I find the fasteners are often badly corroded. Good to know access can be gained just from the service panel though, cheers.
@@KomradeShotabollokov yes, there is a pump below the floor mat on driver's side (left) -you can use a funnel from the trunk (standard gear) to pump it and put all the air out
Very good work friend
Cheers mate
Can you make more videos about how to change the braking fluid, gearbox fluid and coolant? It would be amazing! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks, I intend to make more videos for the civic so will try to include those suggestions
@@KomradeShotabollokov thanks! It's not easy to find for this specific model and I would like to learn how to do it myself.
You didn't need to release the fuel pressure before removing the filter?
You didn't fill the new filter with diesel?
There was no pressure when I disconnected the two hoses from the filter. Filling the filter would be slow because the two hose connections have a small diameter. I had no concerns with cranking the engine until the air lock cleared; it wasn't that long.

@@KomradeShotabollokov Thanks again. I looked at the Wiki and it appears I have a 2015, 9th Gen, facelift.
Brilliant video and followed it to the tee, thanks. What an absolute bastard of a job! And yeah Earth Dreams! 😂

@@KomradeShotabollokov Agreed. That was the first thing I thought, who the Chuffin' Nora is gonna swap that out in a garage?!
Hi. When should timing chains be replaced? How many Km?

He got orange gloves he knows what he doing
No dermatitis for me...
in the 2.2 ctdi is easier, possible to change it from above.
That's great for those with the 2.2, then!
My 1.6idtec has gone into limp mode twice with po087 code,fuel rail pressure low, turning off n restarting the car takes it out of limp mode, could the fuel filter be the problem?
It could be, when was the filter last changed?
@@KomradeShotabollokov bought the car in July,138,000 miles,2013,no record of it being changed.
Then it's worth changing it anyway. You'll also find out if it was the cause of the problem.
How often should this be replaced?
I'm not sure of the replacement interval but I bet it's nowhere near as much as the >100,000 miles my car had done when I replaced it... I think many don't get changed regularly due to the poor access.
My car has just passed 80k so probably worth doing soon then.
I would say so. In my experience of other common rail diesel engines, the interval is likely to be closer to 40-50,000 miles, max.
@@KomradeShotabollokov every second oil change the fuel filter must be changed in a diesel. That's why the location of it is ridiculous. Honda engineers didn't think at all about it.

Thaks
Thanks! do you have to take off the fuel pump fuse beforehand?
No, just don't turn on the ignition during the change and the pump won't power on.
This is a horrid job.. I have a faulty censor so had planned on changing the filter and the censor at the same time. Can see this is going to be an arse..
Thanks for the vid, it's very helpful 👍👍
No prob, hope it helps. Enjoy the poor access...

Try priming the fuel system after the change- no need for cranking the engine at all
Other than cycling the ignition, is there another way to do this?
@@KomradeShotabollokov yes, there is a pump below the floor mat on driver's side (left) -you can use a funnel from the trunk (standard gear) to pump it and put all the air out
OK thanks, I'll look for that next time I change the filter
@@KomradeShotabollokov thank you for the video
depends on car. newer 1.6 dont have way to prime like older models
thanks for this tuto
Thanks, glad it helped
@@KomradeShotabollokov if you have another one for civic 9th ?
I have some others for the 9th gen Civic and will add more in the future I imagine
@@KomradeShotabollokov thanks if you have tuto how change accessory belt
@@sarrasinmulooz as it happens this is one of the next items I need to look at on my car, so I'll likely make a video
