Thank you very much. Worked on. My 2012 fiesta. The only thing I did different was fill my filter with diesel to prevent any priming issues. Started first time with no hiccups
Thanks for taking the time to make this video, first one I found with this engine version, I was dreading all the priming horror stories you hear and problems with air locks but it wasn't any harder than an oil filter change. I did fill up the new filter first just to be on the safe side, car started first time with no issues. You da MAN....
Whether its an electric or mechanical pump on your model, if you reassemble the filter with the cap then fill it to brim full with clean fuel through the inlet spout, that should be adequate to prime it before fitting back into the filter's seat. Some air will enter the pipes when you remove them so it won't be totally air free. I've read that folk run the engine at about 1500rpm after starting to clear any air.
If you need more instructions on how to unscrew/disconnect the pieces than what is in the video, you probably should not be attempting this yourself. Great video.
Hi there! I have a ford fiesta 2011, It has AC compressor issue. May I know if I can swap the compressor with Ford Ecosport as they both share the same engine? Fiesta is discontinued in our country and there are no Outlets to purchase one, if we go to ford service center then they charge double the actual money. Help me out in this!
Hi Gerard! I'm writing from Italy. Your video is the only one I've found,that shows how to change this particular type of filter. My Mazda 3 1.6 TD does have the exact same engine as your Fiesta. Can you confirm that this filter is self-priming? Thanks a lot for your useful video. Neo
Hello & thanks for watching the video. There is additional steps that can be taken to fill the filter before fitting the pipes on prior to starting, I have never had an issue with this engine needing bleeding to start or failing to start (you will need a strong battery to get enough engine rotation to complete) I have suction and syringe type tools for fuel filter jobs but there was never any need on this model Fiesta engine. Like Springer said in the last comment Focus engines are different and I have an easy way to bleed them using suction through a return line which is similar to that on a Ford Galaxy as well. Only worry I have is the battery charge, if that is ok I never had any issues. Thanks
Hi Ger., that's good to hear 👍 ford have gone back to the self bleed system,, i replaced the fuel filter in 141 focus same filter as the one in this video and i had to use that stupid fuck'n bleed tool took me 20 minutes to bleed it before it started.
I'm about to do a Dec 2013 reg Fiesta 1.5TDCi DuraTorq fuel filter change. I intend to fill the new filter with diesel before fitting so its primed. How much cranking does the engine need to start if the filter is already primed?
Fill the filter first, there is only good that can come from filling it and no harm will be done, anything that makes a vehicle easier to start I agree with, On this model I have never had difficulties but I know others have. I had problems starting a Mondeo even after filling the filter to the max, took an hour to rectify and I had to bleed the lines up to the pump on that one. I hope this helps and good luck with your job.
Gerard Burke Hmm.Thanks on the reply,My 2012 Ford Fiesta seems to have no codes at all,everything seems to be working but the engine keeps acting low on power.Not sure if there's a mysterious part in the engine or exhaust system causing this.My thought now would be a clogged fuel filter.
If unsure or you can't solve, I would recommend bringing it to a trusted reliable technician to diagnose the issue for you, you may end up spending money you don't need by buying and installing parts without further diagnostic. items such a fuel filter can be bypassed for testing purpose. I hope this helps.

Worth attempting myself, thank you for the tutorial
Very clear instructions. Audio is also good. Thank you very much. Great job

is it for a diesel engine or gasoline?
Will this improve mpg I have a 2013 Ford Fiesta SE Thank you.

Gerard Burke Thanks a lot for your answer. Can I ask you one last thing? If I need to bleed the filter, what's the right connector to vacuum?
Gerard Burke Changed my fuel filter following your instructions. It worked perfectly!
Glad I could help, Thanks for the feedback
Do u know if these are the same on the b max ? Thsnks
Hi Ger., that's good to hear 👍 ford have gone back to the self bleed system,, i replaced the fuel filter in 141 focus same filter as the one in this video and i had to use that stupid fuck'n bleed tool took me 20 minutes to bleed it before it started.
hey I have s max 2012 1.6 diesel the have the same filter as fiesta when come to prime is the inlet pipe the one on back or front
Is there a fuel filter in a 2015 Ford Fiesta 1.25 82cv? Thanks in advance.
What engine was this? Are all filters that look like this self priming?
I'm about to do a Dec 2013 reg Fiesta 1.5TDCi DuraTorq fuel filter change.
I intend to fill the new filter with diesel before fitting so its primed.
How much cranking does the engine need to start if the filter is already primed?
hi. how did it go? i intend to do the same soon!
are you 100% sure it'll self prime even without filling the filter cup with diesel?
Fill the filter first, there is only good that can come from filling it and no harm will be done,
anything that makes a vehicle easier to start I agree with, On this model I have never had difficulties but I know others have.

Thank s for your vidéo but How to bleeding Systeme
Can the fuel filter cause the vehicle to lose power from the engine?
The quick answer is yes, any restriction in fuel supply can cause an engine to be down power.

Gerard Burke Yeah very true,Thank you for advice,it does help.I was thinking of that as well to take the car to a trustworthy shop.Thanks again.
No problem, good luck.
Is the Fiesta ST(turbo) the same?
i am oneal
Be good if you showed tools and the actual removing of pipes, nuts etc as you are doing the job
Actual pulling of filter wasnt shown, may just suggest that you have somebody to hold the camera to actually shown the whole process.tnx
What a silly over complicated design!
Explication non complète. Wé must put the gasoil in the filtre befor using
video not showing everything..
