Fuel filter and hose clips OM651 C250cdi

[Tonygw]

Hi Guys

I intend on replacing the fuel filter on my 2012 C250 cdi om651 engine. I am going to use the Mann filter WK820/17.
I'm hoping somebody can confirm this is the right filter? And also where can I get the hose clips from? Can I replace the ones fitted with jubilee clips or should I use the proper hose clips.

I cant seem to find anywhere to get them other than direct from Mercedes. But I probably havent searched for the right type if anybody can advise.
Thanks

Have you done the fuel filter coolant inlet outlet housing yet ?

 

[Tonygw]

Where would that be? I only see the canister filter with fuel in fuel out and heater/ sensor connection on it held in with spring clips. Cheers

I just used jubilee clips.

Change the housing as it's a common coolant leak area , they changed the design from two bolt flange to three .

 

[Tonygw]

ah nice one cheers. I'll check to see if its been changed or if there is any signs of coolant leaks.
Something to add to the list.

i did mine at the weekend very easy job they are clic-r clips need special pliers to remove the clips,dnt use jubilee clips as they will cut into the pipes

 

[Trickythemerc]

I have the proper pliers for these clips. They will both unlock and lock the clips without damage allowing the clips to be reused. Available on Amazon for under a tenner.

 

[Tonygw]

cheers guys, have purchased the pliers from amazon and the filter, just waiting for it to arrive now. Hopefully before the weekend!

When I change the filter which I plan to do this weekend. Do I need to prime it or will the on board pump fill up the filter with the ignition on for say 30 seconds? What do you guys recommend?

I always fill the new filter with fresh fuel using a syringe, force of habit maybe but works for me.

 

[Tonygw]

Ah dag nam it I was hoping it might self prime, it does on you tube but I dont believe everything I see on there LOL

 

[OneForTheRoad]

It does self prime. Turn ign on wait 20 secs. Turn off. Turn on . Wait. 20 secs. Start.

Did you reuse the clips?

 

[Tonygw]

I bought new ones off eBay, but I didn't see any issues with the old clips. But for the price, they are so cheap I thought I would just renew them.
