FUEL FILTER LOCATION???
 

Can anyone tell me where on my 06 wrx 2.5 i will find the steel fuel filter part no:42072aa011, done my 3rd year service this evening but could'nt locate the filter to replace it:wonder:, thanks.

its with the fuel pump in the tank
you will have a job to get one
it is generally eccepted not to replace fillter on the 06:norty:

filter location
 

Open bonnet look at intercooler and on the right bolted to the suspension turret is a black cylinder with two pipes going to it :)

on the 06-07 its in the tank:rolleyes:

Doh !
 

Well i stand corrected. Thought that all had the bag type filter on pick up and the element. Bit of a naff design that one.

The filter bag by the pick up is still there on the 06> cars.
There's no room for the fuel filter (& screen wash tank) by the pass. turret as the air pump takes up the space on Hawkeyes.

Well i am way out of date so will keep trap shut:). Didnt even no had such a thing as air pump ! What does that do then emisions or something:wonder:

I told my subaru dealer my vehicle details, 2006 wrx 2.5, he did,nt require chassis no: and i asked for the parts for a 3rd year service "oil filter, sump washer and fuel filter", he gave me a fuel filter part no:42072aa011, looks like this one; 93- 00 Impreza Classic Jap Made Fuel Filter FreePost UK on eBay, also Engine Tuning Parts, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 09-Jul-09 17:09:52 BST) ,:confused:

:wonder:
it should be part no. 42072FE030 for 2.5 cars and goes in the fuel tank.

That Ebay item is the filter that goes by the passenger turret on pre 06 2.0 litre cars.

The filter is the gold & white cylinder above the pump:
Attachment 52350

Interesting interesting.

Iv'e fitted a walbro pump a couple of years back does that change anything? Do i still need to replace the filter? where do i get one? i guess i'll have to take the subaru filter back for a refund then, it cost £26.36+vat , pitty its a 80+mile round trip:mad:

I'll give you £25 for it. :p
Been looking at changing mine. :)

Buy one mail order from the likes of RCM and flog the other one.
I can't believe a dealership cocked up over this.

The walbro sits in extra the same place as the std pump.
