I am kind a new with diesel cars, but I heard from friends that it is recommenced to drain your cars fuel filter at least once a year, especially after winter season.. but I for some reason I didnt do that.
So in mid of Summer my Renault Megane II 1.5 Dci suddenly threw at me a warning - Check fuel filter.
First reaction - I have to replace fuel filter ( I planned to do it while ago, even bought a new one, just didn't have time), but after second thoughts I figured out that this might be a lot easier fix, water condensate, that I didn't drain after winter. So after short thinking I said to myself that I will give a try and try to drain it, I had never done this before and I found it very easy to do, even easier than replacing a light bulb, so it should not be very hard thing to do!
So before you panic, try to drain the fuel filter and see if you can get rid of error by doing this! After I drained the mixed diesel with water, warning light turned off. Good when I dind have water sensor inj my filter, if you are not sure that you have water sensor in your filter, just inspect it, and if you dont have, dont forget to drain the filter at least once a year.
