Where is the fuel filter??
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 11:48 pm
Hi folks, I've asked this question on the Aussiefrogs forum but no-one seems to know the answer. I own two Megane sedans, one a 2007 the other a 2008, both with the 2L engine and auto boxes. One of the cars has an intermittent power loss problem and from prior experience it seems like it might be a blocked fuel filter. I've read the various queries and responses on this forum but none of the cars discussed are the 2L model. I have a feeling that this car's filter is incorporated into the fuel tank sender unit but I've not been able to confirm that.
Anyone know for sure where or if this could be the problem? Unfortunately the power loss has never happened when I'm driving the car so I only have my wifes description of what happens, but the last time it happened the car stalled on her and in an auto when your trying to pull out into a busy road thats rather scary. She now refuses to drive the car and I'm scratching my head trying to think of why its doing this. The fuel filter was my first and still, my only sensible thought. The car has only done around 75,000 km and is otherwise in fine knick.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
cheers, bio
