filter petrol volvo xc 40 d4 VOLVO XC40 (536)

The diesel fuel filter on a Volvo XC40 is located under the vehicle, towards the rear passenger side, near the rear wheel area. It is usually covered by a plastic protective cover that needs to be removed first.

How to locate and replace the diesel fuel filter on your Volvo XC40:

- Lift the vehicle safely using ramps or a lift.
- Remove the plastic cover on the rear passenger side under the car to expose the fuel filter housing.
- The fuel filter is held in place by a metal clamp secured with two bolts (usually 13mm).
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the filter.
- Release the fuel lines by pressing the appropriate clips or clips on the connectors; be prepared for some fuel spillage, so have a catch container ready.
- Remove the bolts and the metal clamp to free the fuel filter.
- Swap the old filter for a new one, ensuring the flow direction is correct.
- Reconnect all fuel lines, electrical connectors, and bolts securely.
- Replace the protective cover.
- After replacement, bleed the fuel system according to Volvo’s procedure.
- Reset the service interval using diagnostic tools or the car’s interface.

This location and procedure apply generally to diesel versions of the Volvo XC40 from recent years.
