Ok, well I've been getting sometimes what feels like fuel starvation. so I thought I'd change the fuel filter. Stopped in motor factors. Was given one. Got home and a quick Google and search on here seems to say there is no serviceable filter at all on a 225. only that the pump has an integrated filter. I'm amazed by this!! Anyhow if this truly is the case is there anyway to check/clean/change it? If not any other part of the fuel system worth checking for effects of dirt or cause fuel starvation? cheers for any help.
I had the fuel regulator fail on my 225 recently. got new one installed with new fuel pump sorted the problem
Before spending any money I'd be making sure I knew what the original problem was to be honest. DO you have any error codes up at all? Is it a mis-fire as this is quite common due to failing injectors?
Fair comment Xanda. Tbh the fuel filter change was a 'should be Rome's anyway view (from a service perspective). But obviously finding out there is no filter, and that it's a whole pump change moves the goal posts some what. The issue I was having was intermittent hard stutter at medium throttle when cold. Once driven and warm no issue. But car is a little rough when cold (not uncommon on a Renault). Not enough to make me thing coil pack though as fine when warm. I need to finish a full service off with some new plugs anyhow. So will do that. Seems injectors could be worth a clean (car on 92k). And then not sure. Anyone got a pic of the fuel pump assembly? I'm so surprised there is no serviceable filter at all. Wondering what type of filtration is built into the pump??
