I've got a E-320 wagon with 85,000 miles. I was told today that it is time for my fuel filter to be replaced. I was quoted $129.00 for the filter, and 1.0 hr. labor. When should I really change the filter, and how difficult would it be for me to do the work.

 

you really must change it.

it's under the car.

 

When is the recommended time to change this fuel filter? Do you have the service manual's steps to do this job?

 

every 30k kilometers.

yes i have the manual, but it's too easy to consult from there.

lift up the car, expose the filter, change it.
