Change the fuel filter on a 207

unscrew the 3 screws holding the air filter cover, T25 torx key

lift the lid

and remove it

unscrew the screw on the top of the filter, T20 torx key and remove it and the plastic jumper

I placed a rag in the intake so nothing would fall in by accident.

spread the pipe on top of the filter

unscrew and remove the filter retaining screw, T25 torx key

remove the fuel outlet hose by pressing the colored tabs

and pulling

Have a rag ready for the diesel that will leak.

do the same for the fuel supply hose

You could definitely use plastic caps (provided with the new filter) to block the filter inlet and outlet and thus avoid spilling diesel.

unscrew the air hose retaining screw next to the flow meter, T27 torx key

and push the whole thing down

enter filter

and rotate it backwards

turn the filter over to access the electrical plug

Pull the small tab away from the plug and pull to disconnect

remove the filter

compare filters

make sure that the new filter has the electrical part

remove the caps on the new filter

If the new filter does not have the heater (electric part), it will be necessary to recover it from the old one.

unlock the heater using a multi-socket wrench or an adjustable wrench

unscrew by hand

take out the heater

remove the heater o-ring

oil the new O-ring (it is supplied)

and put it down, against the stop

remove the blanking cap on the new filter

screw the heater in by hand

lock with key

Moderate tightening, these are plastic parts.

the filter has a leg

which will need to be put back into its housing in the engine

present the filter lying down to be able to plug the electrical outlet

press to lock

You should hear a "click".

install the filter tab into its lug (see step 8)

and rotate it

put in the screw and tighten it, T25 torx key

fit the air hose and tighten the screw, T27 torx key

put the hose on the filter, the plastic rider with its screw and tighten, T20 torx key

connect the diesel supply hose

You should hear a "click".

remove the cloth if you have put one

install the cover

There are 3 legs to put into the lugs.

screw the 3 cover screws, T25 torx key

I remind you that at this stage, the diesel outlet hose is still not connected.

operate the primer bulb

We will have placed a rag under the filter outlet because diesel will leak.

until the diesel flows (it took a good 2 minutes in my case)

then connect the diesel outlet hose

If you have difficulty repriming, you can use a tool that plugs into the diesel circuit:

commercially available

or very easy to make yourself

press the bulb until it becomes hard

start the car and check for leaks

Take the old filter to a recycling center

I strongly advise against reusing the diesel found there because it most likely contains a lot of water.
