Default Re: I need help big time with the car, please read on.

A little friendly advice if you decide to save money and replace the filter yourself :

( The fuel filter and pump are in the black plastic cover just inside the passenger side rear wheel - accessible by removing the 3 10mm plastic body nuts )

1. The factory hose clamps will come off by squeezing them at the little 'high' points with a pair of needle nose pliers and a tiny screwdriver to separate the clamping portion.

2. have some 3/8" tapered wood dowels ( or equivalent ) ready to plug hoses. ( DO NOT SMOKE )

4. replace the factory clamps with some stainless steel fuel hose clamps.
