DIY 8th Gen iDtec Diesel Fuel Filter Change

What size wheels and tyres are you running? Tyre pressure OK?
 
18" wheels with 225/45/18 tyres, pressure @33psi. Only had the wheels on about a month, mpg was the same with the original wheels n tyres.
 
Just jumping into this thread, great DIY tutorial, i will be trying this for sure.

On fuel consumption,im dissapointed in the high consumption v the I-cdti, i too am averaging about 37mpg to 44mpg over motorway and urban driving
 
I think it's just the short journeys that knacker the mpg. I'm doing regular 5-7 mile trips with lots of stops but on the rare occasion I hit the motorway for a good spell the consumption shoots up to over 50mpg.
The weather has warmed a little too and my average has risen from 37mpg over the winter to around 40mpg at the moment.
 
Cold weather really is terrible for diesel mpg. 50mpg on the motorway is excellent
 
Last fill driving easier than usual, 50.1 mpg, Usually I get 47 or so.

Change all filters regularly especially the airfilter, that really gets blocked quickly because the area is so small.
