How do you change the fuel filter on peugeot 307 hdi Is it easy to do and can any idiot me do it any help would be greatly appreciated?

Answer 1

Its easy to do but you need to remove battery first as it is under it. Important to follow procedure for removing battery first Battery Disconnection Procedure From hereon in the soft boot procedure will be described as the '3 Minute Rule'

PROCEDURE FOR BATTERY DIS-CONNECTION (The 3 Minute Rule)

Whenever a vehicle battery has to be dis-connected, switch off all equipment,

interior lights etc, close the doors leaving the drivers window open.

Switch off the ignition and remove the key and any DIAG equipment.

Wait a full 3 minutes before disconnecting the battery.

The BSi must be allowed to go to SLEEP i.e. into "power save mode". Do not

operate any equipment on the vehicle during this time. Remember, even

opening the bonnet will wake the BSi on a vehicle fitted with alarm.

If the battery is under the bonnet, open the bonnet first and leave it up. 807

batteries can be dis-connected through the drivers window, remove floor cover

first. (note, Pics are under the passenger seat)

ALWAYS disconnect any DIAG equipment and do not operate any plips from

other vehicles during the 3 minute waiting period.

PROCEDURE FOR BATTERY RECONNECTION

Unless otherwise instructed by Product Service, you must always

carry out the following procedure, often referred to as a "soft re-boot", to

minimise the possibility of the BSi corrupting its own software when

reconnecting the vehicles battery supply.

Ensure the procedure for battery disconnection has been adhered to and

importantly all BSi functions were switched off with the drivers window left

down.

1 Close all doors

2 Remove ignition key if left in ignition

3 Reconnect battery. DO NOT open any doors

4 Wait 10 seconds

5 Switch on headlights through the drivers window (you will hear a "bong") (note: Snap-on says Side-lights)

6 Switch on ignition then start the vehicle and check system functions

NOTE: Upon reconnection, if any vehicle function controlled by the BSi i.e .

interior light is switched on,the internal operation of the BSi has the potential

to spike or corrupt its configuration and software program......

============================================================

This makes it difficult to fault find the BSI circuit board live. The danger seems to be whilst trying to find a simple indicator fault we could end up with a vehicle off the road or windows stuck down due to software corruption.
