Background: Lancia Ypsilon 1.3 JTD (70HP) DFN [2004] km: 180014 date: 01jan2025 Issue: diesel filter change challenge Recommended prerequisite link: ypsilon24 In this album, we will be detailing the various part n° references for your fuel filter housing and the entire diesel filter replacement process. So, continuing from ypsilon24, here's how to choose a new filter housing, if needed:
| Component | Reference(s) | Comments |
| diesel fuel filter + seal | autodoc: UFI filters 77362340 | This reference is strongly recommended because it comes in a plastic protective box, keeping any dust particles away from your filter. The reference seen in Image7613 is for training purposes only, I am not using this filter in my car. Make sure you follow the eLearn PDFs available in ypsilon24, so that you replace your filter WITHOUT introducing dust in your fuel circuit |

Bad news: 2 pins instead of 4 pins Good news: no error messages on my dashboard, despite missing heating resistance. However, the heating resistance is there for a reason. If you have any background info on this heating resistance, please let me know (end of page) |

Finally, here are some hints & tips how to pull your fuel pipes, because this was a tricky bit for me. 0. Clean the area, so that you don't introduce dust in your fuel circuit. 1. Based on Image7002-demo (final image), ALWAYS stay in the axis of your fuel pipe (red line). Do NOT pull in a circular movement, or your pipe could break (see for instance Image7547 from the training unit pipe). Always stay in the red axis when pulling! 2. With one hand (and your fingers and your nails...), keep the grey clip assembly close to the filter body and away from the pipe. Do not expect the grey clip to move along the red axis (or any other axis). If you can move it even 2mm in the green arrow direction, consider yourself lucky. 3. Once the grey clip assembly is firmly kept with your hands, fingers and nails, gently start pulling the pipe away from the housing. Again, stay on the red axis. Apply progressive force, stay gentle, patient, breathe, eat, pray, love and eventually the pipe will break free from the 4 clips included in the grey clip assembly. If you are not gentle enough, you will start breaking your clips from the grey clip assembly. And if you overdo it, you'll also probably break a fuel pipe (see for instance Image7547 from the training unit pipe). 4. Intentionally left blank ;) For my next fuel filter change, I was thinking of also: 1. Draining some fuel from the water drain tap (Image7417) to minimize spillage in the engine bay during removal. Sure, you can protect the alternator and accessories with a rag — but it’s still messy. 2. Carefully clean inside my fuel filter housing because it's supposed to be the clean side of the filter but contains some sludge... 3. Intentionally left blank ;) Questions? Comments? Concerns?
