Hi,

How often should you change the fuel filter on a 1.8vvt?

Thanks

Best course is every 20k, I know the book doesn't say that but good filters means good performance in any car, official recommends are aimed at fleets not the guy in the street to keep costs down with no consideration for the health of the car as a fleet will have disposed of it long before the damage starts to show, oil is another critical one, every 10k and don't be fooled by this longlife bull they now promote either, oil degrades not only with age but due to contamination by combustion residue.

Have to agree with above,i like to change oil and filters at least twice a year,a good oil is the life blood of any engine and regular servicing for what it costs[if you do it yourself] always keeps your engine/car in good order.I always try and use genuine parts and oils.And as i say i will be changing fuel filter this weekend and it will be done again before the winter sets in again-----Dave
