"Hello All",
On the subject of `Changing the Fuel Filter` on an Xtrail:
I have a Xtrail 2.0 SE - 2006 Registered - Petrol - Manual
Today I had a Nissan Fixed Price Service - `Gold Standard` - A Lot of items were included in the List for this and one of them was `Change Fuel Filter`.
When I went to collect My Car the VERY Helpful Member of Staff at the Service Centre Office went through the `Checklist` of items with Me - When it came to the `Change Fuel Filter` this had a Cross by it not a `Tick` - I obviously queried this as I considered it a `Good Thing` to have replaced - She went to ask the Mechanic who carried out the Service.
The Customer Service Representative came back with the Answer `There is NOT one to Change` - When I stated that there `Must Be` a Fuel Filter in the Xtrail another Mechanic who was in the Reception Area stated that the "Filter is Fitted to the Fuel Tank" - "It is a `Non Serviceable` Item".
That `Shut Me Up` - But I later thought what would happen IF the Fuel Filter got `Blocked Up` - as I am sure CAN Happen ?? - Perhaps when People `Run Out` of Fuel ??
I assume that the Diesel Xtrails are different regarding the Fuel Filter - My Xtrail is a Petrol Model.
Does Anyone KNOW whether what I was told is `Correct` - And If so what happens If someone does `Block` the `Non Serviceable` Fuel Filter ??
Perhaps there is a way to apply Pressure to `Blow` the Blockage Back into the Fuel Tank ??
I am sure with the Knowledge that Members have on this Forum I will receive an Answer [?].
Regards to All,
CHRISM
