Frequently asked questions about fuel filter change & replacements in Forres
Read our answers to questions about fuel filter change costs, symptoms and more.
What does a fuel filter change in Forres involve?
- Mechanic will inspect the fuel filter and the fuel supply system.
- If necessary, the mechanic will replace the fuel filter.
- Mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
- Mechanic will inspect the fuel supply system again for any leaks and test drive the car.

- When the 'Check Engine' light is on.
- When the engine runs rough (power delivery is not as smooth as usual).
- When fuel consumption of the car appears higher than usual.
- When you experience problems starting the car.
How long will a fuel filter change take in Forres?
A fuel filter change usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
Is fuel filter checked during an MOT
The fuel filter condition itself is not checked in an MOT, but like the rest of the system it is inspected by the MOT tester to ensure there are no leaks and parts are secure and safe. If anything is found to be malfunctioning or not as it should be, it could likely result in an MOT fail.
How much does it cost to change a diesel fuel filter in Forres?
Typically, the cost for a fuel filter change is on average £80, and the price can range from £65 to £90. The exact price will of course depend on the make and model of the car as well as your location.
When should I change a fuel filter?
It is typically recommended to change a fuel filter every 30,000 - 40,000 miles or every 2 to 3 years. This can vary depending on the type of vehicle and the manufacturer's recommendations. However, sometimes the fuel filter can get clogged earlier which can lead to contaminated fuel and reduced performance. This is when you should definitely change the fuel filter.
