Fuel Filter

[jamielm]

Hi there,

Apologies for bringing up an old thread, but I thought that it would be better than creating another thread. I have a 2003 Yaris (only recently purchased), and unfortunately ran out of fuel. I was on my way to the Petrol Station after purchasing the car, and prematurely broke down.

Since then I have been having some issues when trying to start up the car (on some occasions it can fire up almost instantaneously, on other occasions it can take up to 10-15 cranks).

I know that I am probably jumping the gun, but I believe that after reading this thread, this could be the reason why this intermittent problem keeps occurring. Is there any way of replacing the in-tank Fuel Filter? If so does anyone have any advice on how to do it/a roundabout quote for parts/labour?

Or could it perhaps be just cleaned, and no need for a replacement to be put in? My car is a Yaris Colour Coll. Vvti 5 Door Hatchback (1299cc, 2003). After reading I am a little confused, no-where online seems to sell Fuel Filters for my model. Do they come as part of the Fuel Pump/Fuel Gauge Sender Unit, or art they actually in built in the Tank? As I said, I'm still a little fuzzy. Thanks in advance for any information.

I hope this is OK with people, sorry again to jump onboard this thread.
Kind regards,
Jamie.

Take a look at this thread: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42906

The fuel filter is located within the sender assembly and can be replaced. Based on your thread where you describe the issue, I would agree that you should check the fuel filter.
