MX-3.com

I am just wondering if someone has changed their gas filter themselves. I have done it on other cars but not my mx-3. Just wondering if the task was hard or not. Also is the filter up by the motor or right by the tank. I am asking because I think getting car onto ramps at a garage is out of question at the current moment

Thanks

The Fuel Filter is a reasl bastard to get to-- even on the 1.6L SOHC, and even more so on the v6.

its located behind the engine, on the firewall near the middle (below the Intake manifold). Its a canister looking thing with a prong sticking up , & one sticking down.

Its a cylinder that a bit smaller than a can of Coke.

thanks man, maybe I be best tring to get it on at a shop from sounds of it.

No man-- You can do it--

No Problem!

hmm maybe man, well see

I tried for an hour but the bolt was a pain in the a** so I have to try on another day to do it but it is definitely a do it yourselfer.

It is a pain in the a$$ but can be done by your self...just allow enough time like with any do it your self project....

When do you know it's time to change the gas filter?

It should be a part of your scheduled maintenence. Every 20,000 miles is a good time to do it.
