Hi. Just changed the fuel filter on w204 2010 pre facelift. Seemed easy enough but when I start the engine, the (removable) sensor is is pushed out of the filter and diesel sprays everywhere. It's as if I'm not screwing it in properly but I've tried tightening the screws to the point that I've broken all the grooves and will have hell removing them lol.

I'm actually going to local car shop now to buy more screws but thought I'd ask here if maybe theres something else I'm not doing right.
 
Sorted filter/sensor with m5x15 screws. Cant see a way to delete this
 
Are you referring to the fuel heater ?
 
Or to the water sensor?

I thought it was a heat sensor.

Your better off buying the filter with it built in tbh.
