fuel filter bleed-is it necessary between changes?

[bikes4two]

'06' Facelift Diesel tourer

QUESTION RE FUEL FILTER BLEED
- The Honda handbook says change the filter every 25k miles with a 9water) bleed in between, i.e. at the 12.5k point.
- The denso filter holder on the facelift has a water sensor does it not?
- If the water sensor is not warning me of water present, should I just be leaving the fuel filter alone and just changing every 25k miles, or is it not as simple as that?

Thanks in advance

yes.

Is it easy to bleed then?

here is DIY http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/871-diy-i-ctdi-fuel-filter-drain-and-bleed-procedure/ but its for pre-facelift models, if someone know how it looks in facelift models don't hesitate to share your knowledge

Also agree its good practise to do a FF bleed in between the 24 month change.

Having said that, I changed mine twice over the years and bled in between and never had any water......
