Questions and Answers

Hi chaps, I doubt anyone knows, but on the off chance that unicorns are real, fairies exist and pigs can really fly!!
Does anyone of you know where the fuel/petrol filter is situated on the 2003 onwards charade/Mira/cuore L250/L251 ??
Is the aus/UK/euro 1 litre model ej-ve base petrol engine.
I have serviced and replaced all filters, oils, fluids etc just can’t find the thing anywhere! Either that or I am slowly going blind as well as stupid.
Cheers in advance for any help :+1:

I believe that one is in the tank with the fuel pump.

I’m afraid you would have to drop the tank for that right?

Hi Chaps.
Sorry for the delay n stuff.
Well after much messing about and crawling in and out of the underneath and engine bay of car, I can state that the l250/251 model does not have a separate fuel filter! If it does then it is contained within a fourth dimension that I cannot access without a higher state of mental being!!
Soooo, as stated above the fuel filter is a sealed cell contained within the fuel pump in tank.

So advice for anyone that has an l250/251 and is told to purchase a separate fuel filter along with other service parts from for example eBay, eurocarparts or any other on line store or high st shop. Skip the fuel filter because it doesn’t fit as there is nowhere to put it technically.
Only other way is to like me cut fuel line in the engine bay and fit it in line. Easy enough, just make sure arrow on filter is aligned with direction of fuel flow.

Anyways as most of you guessed and now we know it doesn’t have separate filter.
