Fuel filters 97 190d
Hey guys, Im about to do a Diesel Purge and filter change on my 190d and I was wondering about the filters. The pre filter seems to be buried somewhere that I cant see - will I have to remove the air filter to get to it? Also, the main filter looks to be sealed in a lot more that on my 84 300d. There looks to be a small brakcet on top that I may have to remove. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks, Ben R |

Prefilter is under the air box but should be visible. Easiest to remove the air filter and cover. I dont know about other models, but the om601 is a very tight fit to work on in general.
THe primary will come out like it looks like it ought to: its a squeeze past the vacuum lines I recall. You might have to remove the brake vaccum line bracket. Fill the new filter with fuel to help but priming is not needed, unlike other models. |

Thanks for the insight. Ill remove the air filter and take a look - I cant even see the pre filter from underneath the car.
Yeah - the main filter is wedged in pretty tight between hoses and a bracket, unlike my old 84 300D. Ill probably end up removing the bracket and hoping that will leave me enough room to slide the old filter out. |
