How easy was the diesel filter to replace?

It seriously bugged me too. I only had the car a few weeks and put the shudder down to mixed brands and thread depth on the tyres. I got 4 new dunlops and alignment and balanced twice. Still had the shudder. I felt it most in the accelerator pedal and a little in the gearstick and the passanger seat back would vibrate. Basically ruined the comfort for me anyway.

The diesel filter is easy. Fill the new one with diesel, slap it in, few cranks and it will start again. You could even fill the new filter with a fuel system cleaner like dipethane or stanadyne to give the injectors a good blast.

My shudder is gone, much more responsive too. Im thinking it was the original filter in the car after 170k miles
