Fuel Filter Change

[umn]

Hi Loren,

as my 80,000 km service is coming up, I was wondering if you could perhaps post some instructions on how to change the fuel filter. Not even sure about its exact location, I think it is under the passenger's door sill? With that, I think we should have covered pretty much all the maintenance items.

Also, I need to change the gasket for the oil pressure relief valve. Could you perhaps tell me the part number and the required torque?

Cheers,

Uwe

The oil pressure relief valve seal is: 996 107 123 50

The proper torque is 25 Nm. (19 ft-lbs).

Here is the fuel filter on a Boxster - similar location on a Carrera (but I don't have a pic). You will need to remove the plastic belly pan to get to it. Don't forget the ground wire.

...and gasoline will run down your arm. :o

55 minutes ... not bad, even by your standards! I have long given up wondering if you'll be able to answer my questions, it is just a matter of how many minutes it takes you. ;)

To make it harder, I might have to start asking questions in the middle of the night, or maybe pertaining to some obscure country version "I don't understand menu option 3 on my Korean-language navigation system"...

As ever, thank you very much for your help,

Uwe
