The method for replacing the fuel filter element on the City is: 1. Close the inlet valve of the filter, unscrew the end cover bolts, and open the end cover; 2. Open the drain valve to completely drain the dirty oil; 3. Loosen the fastening nut at the top of the filter and remove the old filter element vertically upwards; 4. After replacing the filter, close the drain valve and secure the end cover with bolts. Taking the 2019 City as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4450mm, width 1695mm, height 1477mm, wheelbase 2600mm, and fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. The 2019 City features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
I usually do my own car repairs, and changing the gasoline filter on the City is quite simple. First, make sure the engine is turned off and cooled down, find a ventilated area away from open flames—safety is the top priority. You'll need a wrench and a new filter, located at the rear of the chassis. When lifting the car, use a jack stand for stability. Loosen the connecting pipe joint; some gasoline may leak out, so place a container to catch it. Remove the old filter, remembering the arrow direction points toward the fuel pump. Install the new one, ensuring the rubber seal is properly seated and not crushed. Tighten the screws but don’t overdo it. After replacement, start the engine to check for leaks. The whole process takes about 20 minutes. Replacing it every 20,000–30,000 km keeps the engine healthy, improves performance, and saves fuel. Beginners are advised to watch video tutorials—basic wrenches are all you need, saving money while learning a skill.
