Mine didn't need changing. I doubt it ever would. I only did it for the supercharger.

As mark say his was like new, I have read a few posts on the US board where people have said the same.

I will change mine when I get chance one day

It cant hurt, and you might actually gain something, as you know its best that everything is clean, even cleaning the breathers and vacc valves helps alot with ideling issues ect

Well the one in my Civic was 14 years old and was a bit discoloured, but otherwise was absolutely spot on.

Remember, it's not designed to clean the fuel, thats the job of the fuel filter.

It's just to protect the fuel pump!

And where is this other fuel filter?

Ultra_Nexus

Shop?

You tellin me that pi55y strainer is it?

Not much point changing it on a service and risking damage removing the soft-top to gain access then surely?

RISLAR

Soft top does not need removed, check out my sig and there is a explination of how to remove the pump!!

I'll just chime in here as i've spoke to my dealer about this.

AFAIK number 1 is the actual fuel filter.

and I believe some S's have a second fuel filter under the bonnet, according to my dealers anyway.

Hence why theres two different service schedules for fuel filters.

I may be wrong though, read most probably.
