Loosen the plastic clips all around. Disconnect the pump head. Using a screwdriver, dismantle the latch, while holding the guide with your hand so as not to get lost.

The Kia Sportage III engine range includes both a series of gasoline units (1.6 GDI, 2.0 CVVT, 2.0 without variable valve timing) and diesel units (1.7 and 2.0 CRDI). Fuel filter replacement does not require specialized locksmith skills and can be done by hand.
How often do you need to replace?
According to service standards, the fuel filter for gasoline engines on the Kia Sportage 3 must be replaced after 60 thousand kilometers or every 48 months of vehicle operation. For diesel engines, replacement intervals are half as long - every 30 thousand km or once every 2 years, if during this time the mileage bar is not overcome. Since the domestic diesel is of rather poor quality, it is recommended to halve the replacement intervals for TF on diesel vehicles.
If you are "lucky" at a gas station with low-quality fuel, the car itself will tell you how long change TF. A clogged filter element can be recognized by a drop in power, dips when the accelerator is pressed hard to the floor at low speeds, problems with starting, which is especially typical for diesel engines in the winter season.

While for diesel internal combustion engines and gasoline engines with direct injection, it is recommended to install only original filter elements.
