Fuel Filter?

[TezzaMan]

Hi guys.

I've just bought an oil filter and fuel filter for my tezza (I bought the two together for the mr2 3s-ge engine) on eBay. I know it's the same oil filter but I don't know where the fuel filter is? I took the car to the garage today and the mechanic looked in the engine bay, then put it on the ramp and had a good look underneath but he still couldn't find it.

Any ideas guys?

BTW, I couldn't find the filter listed under altezza so I searched 3s-ge and the parts showed up for the mr2 up to 12/99.

Cheers.

You can`t find fuel filter?

You should just take off passenger seat and you will see it

He's right you lift the rear seat, then a cover then you should be able to get to it.

It shouldnt need changing though

Fuel filter is in the tank as said already so one for an MR-2 won't do ....

go get the proper one from Toyota

Fuel Filter - 23300-74330 (SXE10) 1998-2000

Fuel Filter - 23300-21010 (SXE10) 2000+

it's not supposed to be that easy to change according to the lads that have done it...

Thanks for the info guys.

If it shouldn't need changing then I won't bother buying the right one.

I've always changed the filters on all my old cars. I suppose it's a better design than on other cars if it shouldn't need changing.

Cheers all :)

From the service schedule I've seen it should be changed every 75,000 km's or every 5 years ... :winky:

Oh, ok!

I'll change it then as it's a '99 car and don't know if it'd ever been changed. Any idea of anywhere else I can get it as I don't know if Toyota are that friendly to import owners?

Somewhere on the net?

It's got 53000 miles on it. Don't know what that is in km?

If you give Toyota the part number then they shouldn't have any problem supplying you with the part.
