How often should the fuel filter in the Verano be replaced?
2 Answers
The fuel filter in the Verano should be replaced approximately every two years or 40,000 kilometers. The function of the fuel filter is to remove solid impurities such as iron oxide and dust contained in the fuel, preventing blockages in the fuel system, especially in the fuel injectors. This reduces mechanical wear, ensures stable engine operation, and improves reliability. The Verano has a body length, width, and height of 4723mm, 1802mm, and 1466mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 92kW and a maximum torque of 180Nm.
I've been driving my Verano for several years, and the replacement cycle of the fuel filter is quite important. Generally, it's recommended to replace it every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers or every 2 years, but it depends on fuel quality and driving habits. If you drive more in the city where fuel contains more impurities, it's best to check it at around 25,000 kilometers. Last year, I accidentally delayed the replacement until 35,000 kilometers, and the acceleration became noticeably sluggish with increased fuel consumption. After installing a new filter, the engine ran much smoother, and the power was restored. It's a quick job during maintenance, costing just a few dozen dollars—don't skimp on this. Delaying replacement may clog the fuel injectors, leading to more expensive repairs. The Verano's design places the filter near the fuel tank, making it easy to check. It's good to develop this habit.
