2003 AuII xr8

[AGE1%]

I was wondering if anyone can tell me where the fuel filter is i have followed the fuel lines in the engine bay but can't seem to see it. Is it located near the fuel tank or am i just being daft or does it look different to normal fuel filters?

Its located on the Passengers side, directly underneith the Rear door. You will see 3 steel lines, one of which goes into a steel looking cylinder (your fuel filter)

goodluck

When did this start to happen, has your car AU got a Mafless Tune ie, no need for a signal from the AFM?

Has the Throttle body sensor been played with?
Are the oxygen sensors in the exhaust ok, still connected?
Double check your spark plugs, they are easy to crack, when you replace them if you don't tighten them with care.

After replacing, harmonic balancer (slipped 14deg) cam syncronizer, all injectors cleaned and serviced, redid the planium gaskets, leads plugs and now have 4 yes 4 spare new coil packs Yes i did, after spending 3 thousand dollars on auto electricans,I took it to a mate (auto electrician/ Ford mechanic of 18 years)i hadn't seen for a long time he found the problem in 2 hrs,
It had broken a valve spring, replaced all the valve springs and now runs like a dream as everything electronic under the bonnet is new. I hope this helps
