Apologies if this has been covered before but i've done a search and didn't come up with much.I've got the hesitation problem and am in the process of trying different fixes.One i haven't tried is replacing the fuel filter.How easy is this?
I've got the new manual on order but it's been delayed so if someone has done this already i would be gratefull for any advice.
Thanks in advance

About 2 minutes. 2 pipes with clips and overcentre type clamp round the outside. Be ready to catch the fuel inside the old one when you take the pipes off.
Can't think it would do much for a hestitation problem, though.

Thanks for the reply.One further question though-where is it?
I'm not sure it will help with the hesitation either but it's something that will need replacing soon anyway.

Hi,
On the MY99/00, the fuel filter is located on the left hand side strut tower in the engine bay. (It's on the right tower when looking at the car from the front.)
Cheers,
Wrexy.
