Where is the Nissan Sylphy Fuel Filter Located?
2 Answers
The fuel filter of the Nissan Sylphy is located under the right side of the rear seats. To replace it, you need to remove the rear seats and take out the fuel pump. Below is some related information about the Sylphy: 1. The Sylphy's front face uses more curves to create an elegant shape. The U-shaped chrome trim on the front face, along with the boomerang-style headlights on both sides, represents Nissan's latest design language. The interior layout of the Sylphy is similar to other Nissan models, leaning towards a homey style, and this interior design is very aesthetically pleasing. 2. The Sylphy is equipped with a classic combination of a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a CVT transmission, with a maximum power output of 93kW (126PS) at 5600rpm and a maximum torque of 154N·m at 4000rpm. Additionally, it also offers a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power output of 102kW (139PS) at 6000rpm and a maximum torque of 174N·m at 3600rpm, also paired with a CVT transmission.
To be honest, my old Sylphy had its fuel filter replaced before. For older models (pre-14th generation), it's usually located under the chassis near the fuel tank. You'll see a cylindrical metal canister with fuel lines connected at both ends. DIY replacement is quite troublesome—you need special tools to clamp the quick-connectors before pulling the fuel lines. I really don't recommend doing it without experience; gasoline leaking everywhere is too dangerous. The newer Sylphy models take it even further—the filter is integrated with the fuel pump and stuffed inside the fuel tank. Without professional equipment, you can't even open the fuel tank cover, making it a dealership-exclusive service. No need to worry about frequent changes—just follow the manual and consider replacement at around 60,000 kilometers.
