mk3 mondeo tdci fuel filter change

[carnut1980]

hi all, ive never change a fuel filter on a diesel, do i need to fill the thing with diesel first? if so is it via the 'in' nozzle on the filter? Also where is the oil filter and washer pump on ths car, i want to change all filters but the washer has packed up, though the wipers still work so im guessing its not a broken fuse!

cheers

fuel can be added by the inlet, the canister before fitting or sucked through by a vacume pump afterwards. the oil filter should be on the front of the engine and requires a 36mm socket to remove . access to the washer pump is done by removing the o/s plastic wheel arch protector, but check fuses and relays first.
