Can someone check flow direction of their fuel filter on a MK3 ibiza cupra, just to make sure I have it on the right way, cheers.

there is a arrow on filter indicating which way - if your standing under the car, facing same direction as the car, im sure its right to left.

if youve got the car high enough, you should be able to see the fuel lines leave the filter and go towards the engine

I have fitted it already, the old filter never had arrows on it. You cannot see where the fuel lines go as they are hidden by the fuel tank.

Can someone please look under their car, Is the filter pointing to the O/S or N/S? I need to get my car running.

Thanks a lot.

If it is that...

you meant pointing to the n/s of the car yes?

Cheers

Thanks mate, if you can let me know it would be a big help :)

You can understand I don't want to make a mistake as my car has been off the road for 10 weeks or so.
