Toyota Corolla 150 body fuel filter replacement

Fuel filter Toyota Corolla

The filter element in the fuel system of a Toyota Corolla car plays a very large and important role.
It removes various mechanical particles and condensate from the fuel, which ensures normal engine operation for a long time. The design of the fuel filter on the Toyota Corolla differs from similar samples on many branded models. In addition, the structural features of the filter module largely depend on the modification of the car body. So, for example, Corolla cars in the 150th and 120th bodies produced in 2007 and 2008 have a fuel pump and filter of different types, which does not in any way affect the principle of their replacement, which is identical. In this article we will share with you information about the original filter and the frequency of its replacement. You will learn about all types of fuel filters for Corolla on the Russian market and get acquainted with step-by-step instructions for replacing them.

How often to change

According to the manufacturer's recommendation, it is necessary to replace the fuel filter on a Toyota Corolla 120 with a TO-8, which corresponds to the 80,000-kilometer mark. The frequency of inspection is not regulated by the manufacturer.

Signs of a clogged filter element

Symptoms of clogging

It is quite difficult to identify obvious symptoms of a clogged filter element. This is due to the fact that the filter capacity decreases gradually. Therefore, its clogging can be judged only by indirect symptoms. The most common manifestations of the need to pay attention to the fuel filter are:

the engine is unstable under load;
the car's dynamics are gradually deteriorating;
the power unit periodically stalls, especially during intense acceleration;
the engine does not start the first time;

Toyota Corolla
Toyota Corolla car It has long won the trust of Russian car owners. The world first saw these cars back in 1966, and even then the Coroll model became almost a blockbuster. It, like other Japanese-made cars, requires careful care and maintenance, as now we will discuss how to change the fuel filter

Toyota Corolla will do it at home.

It should be immediately noted that replacing the Fuel Filter (hereinafter referred to as TF) in Corolla cars in 120 and 150 bodies of 2007 and 2008 is carried out according to the same principle. The replacement process is actually the same, but in the 120th and 150th buildings the gas pumps and filters themselves have a different design. Therefore, to be clear, we consider replacing these parts separately.

Toyota Corolla Tuning 2006

It is well known that Japanese cars require good care and the Toyota Wreath is no exception. Carrying out maintenance on your car will increase its service life in almost every way.

It is also important to remember that the gasoline filter is the main component of cleaning the entire fuel system, since it is this element that takes the “main impact”. The article provides detailed instructions for replacing the fuel filter on Toyota Corolla 120 and 150 bodies. In other words, it filters fuel, traps iron dust and other types of wear. You should keep this in mind replacement

This component can cause immediate fuel system failure.

Constantly driving a car with a clogged filter can have very serious consequences. Namely, there is an additional load on the gas pump, which can lead to its malfunction. In addition, contamination of the element will lead to engine malfunction. Replacing the fuel filter to replace the fuel filter. Corolla 150, 1.6, 12 for sale. In this case, the repair will cost a neat amount, so you will never forget to replace the filter.

Following. Some of the signs that TF in your Toyota Corolla have already completed:

the car began to “eat” an order of magnitude more gasoline (11 liters instead of 9);
the car does not accelerate as sharply as before;
at reduced speed, power is lost (very weak “traction”);
Troit, can stop at a traffic light;
in the morning it will be very difficult to start the car (or not at all);
incorrect offset. A severely clogged transmission may not properly transmit engine commands to shift gears. Thus, they may or may not be fulfilled, or the checkpoint may not respond to the driver's actions at all.

Causes and symptoms of the need for replacement

The gasoline filter is the most important component of the fuel system, primarily responsible for filtering fuel by retaining metal dust and other wear products

It is important to understand that untimely replacement of this part can lead to fatal problems in the functioning of the entire fuel system, which, in turn, can lead to failure at the most unexpected moment

In more detail, operating a car with a clogged filter for a long time can lead to improper operation of the engine, as well as overloading the fuel pump, which can cause it to fail. Repairing the latter will result in a very impressive amount, so it’s better not to let it get to that point.

Symptoms that can indirectly indicate a clogged fuel filter:

1. Increased fuel consumption. An increase in consumption is possible from 9 declared liters to 11.

2. Reduced acceleration speed.

3. The so-called “weak traction”, a decrease in power at low speeds.

4. The car may stall or stall at traffic lights.

5. Problems with ignition.

6. Problems with the gearbox. Slow or completely absent signal transmission from the gearbox to the engine can occur as a result of severely clogged fuel filter.

As you can see, the signals are more than serious, so if you detect one or more of them, you should not hesitate.

Filter on other Corollas

On a Corolla with a 100 body, the filter is located in the engine compartment. To replace it, you need to remove the rubber air supply pipe from the filter to the throttle module. The pipe is fixed with conventional screw clamps with a 10 mm nut. The filter is connected to a fuel pipe secured with a 17 mm nut, the filter itself is secured to the body with two 10 mm bolts. The lower fuel supply hose can be unscrewed through the tie rod hole in the left arch. There is no pressure in the system, so gasoline leakage will be insignificant. After this, you can install a new filter (the cheapest SCT ST 780 is often used). A similar filtration system is used on the Corolla model 110.

Another option is the right-hand drive model 121 Corolla Fielder, which can be with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The location of the module on it is similar to the 120 model, but only on vehicles with all-wheel drive. On such configurations, an additional fuel sensor is installed on the right. Moreover, the module itself has only one tube. On cars with front-wheel drive, the module is installed in the center of the body and two tubes go to it.

When removing the module from the tank, it is necessary to remove the additional fuel intake tube from the second section of the tank. This tube is only available on all-wheel drive Fielders. On a front-wheel drive car there is a regular pressure regulator valve.

HOW IS THE FUEL FILTER WORKED ON A TOYOTA COROLLA

Due to the fact that their service life depends on the quality of the fuel entering the injector and engine, the Japanese did not shy away from organizing fuel filtration on their iconic model. The Toyota Corolla fuel filter is a completely standard unit of this type for an ordinary passenger car. The fuel filter of the model is located in the gas tank and is part of an entire fuel module, which combines:

two filter elements: one is designed for coarse purification of fuel from moisture and large impurities, the other for fine filtration of fuel from smaller fractions;

gasoline pump;

fuel level sensor;

fuel lines.

The fuel filter for Toyota Corolla 120 and 150, as a rule, is changed in conjunction with a one-piece fuel module. However, structurally it is a collapsible part, so if desired, any owner of the model can purchase exclusively filter elements, dismantle the unit and replace only them, saving significantly on repairs. Choosing between possible replacement options is solely the prerogative of the car owner, but it is simply necessary to carry it out from time to time.

The process of changing the fuel filter on a Toyota Corolla E150 is quite difficult and time-consuming, therefore, those who are not confident in their abilities are advised to contact a specialist car service center.

The location of the filter is quite specific - directly in the fuel tank of the vehicle, so you will have to do a lot of work to replace it.

Algorithm

So, let's get started with the process:

The first step is to turn off the power to the vehicle. To do this, the negative terminal is removed from the battery.
Next, it will be necessary to remove the rear seat.

The fuel filter is located in the gas tank, which is under the rear seats.

Disconnect the fuel pump wiring.

Unscrew the fixing cover.

We assemble the unit.

We connect the pipes and electrics.

Articles and product selection

Selecting a product is quite simple. Besides the original fuel filter, there is only one analogue, which, as practice shows, is what motorists take. So, let's look at what filter elements the automotive market offers us:

Toyota 77024-12050 is an original part that costs about 4,000 rubles.
JS Asakashi FS21001 is the only analogue on the market with a cost of 4,000 rubles.

Replacing the main filter - follow the instructions

Replacing the fuel filter in a Toyota Corolla is a completely feasible task for every driver. Automotive stores generally only have an additional filter, which is located under the hood, so worry about ordering the main device in advance. There is no need to save money on your purchase and it is better to purchase only the original. It will serve you much longer than the Chinese fakes that are now saturated in the auto parts market.

Before replacing, you will need not only the part itself, but also additional tools: a pair of screwdrivers and sealant, as well as open-end wrenches to replace the second filter. The main fuel filter in a Toyota Corolla is located under the rear seat in the fuel tank. This type of filter is commonly called submersible. To replace it, you need to lift the rear seat, or even unscrew it for a while. Under the seat you will see a metal cover, the so-called hatch. Using a screwdriver, carefully pry it out, as it is attached to the sealant. When doing this, be careful not to damage the electrical wires.

Opening the lid, you will see a fuel pipe and a chip with wires. First of all, turn off the power supply. The next step is to disconnect the fuel pipe. There is an arrow on its plastic lock that indicates the direction in which you need to turn it - do this carefully so as not to break it. After disconnecting, gasoline may spill out, so use a cloth or bottle. To prevent gasoline from spilling, before starting all work, you must remove the pump fuse from the mounting block.

The engine must be turned on. You need to wait until it stalls. These actions will cause all the fuel in the tube to burn. Before removing the pump and filter, pay attention to its correct location in the tank - you will also need to put the new part back in the same way. Unscrew and remove the clamping ring, then carefully remove the pump with the filter - it is important not to damage or move the level float with the fuel grid.

The next step is to remove the part itself. To do this, turn the entire body over and carefully move a few rivets, then remove the cover. There will be a rubber gasket under the cover, which also needs to be removed. Then remove the metal corkscrew ring that holds the fuel grid in place. If possible, replace it with a new one or, at a minimum, rinse it well in water and let it dry.

Then disconnect the pressure regulator - this will be quite difficult, since it is located in the sealing rubber. After this, disconnect the fuel pump and o-rings. Now take a new filter and assemble everything in reverse order. Before assembly, you can lubricate all rubber sealing joints with oil, this will greatly simplify the assembly process. Clean the hatch cover from the old sealant and apply a new one. You will need to hold it under a load for 10-15 minutes for the sealant to harden.

Algorithm for replacing the fuel filter on a Toyota Corolla e150

To independently replace the fuel module on most Toyota Corollas older than 2008, you do not need deep technical knowledge and skills. Parts you will need:

fine gas filter;
coarse filter element;
gaskets and rings,
or fuel module assembly.

Tools you will need:

Phillips and flathead screwdriver;
rags;
container for draining remaining gasoline;
vacuum cleaner or broom;
the above details;

Remove the rear seat;
There is a special hatch under the seat that needs to be pryed out with a flat-head screwdriver without any harsh physical effort.
We disconnect all the terminals and hoses; be prepared that when the last one is separated, approximately 200 milliliters of gasoline will leak out of it - this is where a container prepared in advance for this will come in handy;
Don’t be lazy to clean the space from dirt and dust - this will only benefit the car and will not take much time;
Carefully remove the plastic nut from the gas tank. Here you may need an assistant, since it may be difficult to unscrew it alone without mechanical damage;
Press the screwdrivers into the nut on opposite sides and try to remove it in the most careful way; if you overdo it, it will be difficult to put it back on;
After removing the nut, remove the entire system from the tank and do not lose the protective ring from the neck;
Replace the O-ring;
Separate the coarse element from the fuel pump;
We install new parts and return everything to its place;

Replacing the TF on a Corolla in the 150th body

Let's consider the process of replacing the fuel system cleaning component on a 2007 and 2008 Toyota Corolla in the 150th body:

First you need to remove the rear seats of the vehicle and dismantle the upholstery located under the seats.
Once you do this, you will see the fuel pump cap.

Corolla 150 tank cap

Now take a knife or flat-head screwdriver - you need to carefully pry up the tank lid and move it to the side.

Then remove the cover.

Next, you need to take the prepared container and carefully disconnect the hoses from which fuel may leak.

Then you need to vacuum the dusty gas cap.

Before directly dismantling the TF, when the hoses are disconnected, you need to start the car and wait two to three minutes until the car stalls itself. Once the engine has stalled, you can start the car several more times. This process removes all fuel from the system.

Next, you need to disconnect the battery terminals.

Now we take two wooden caps (if they are missing, two screwdrivers) and preferably a partner who will help you unscrew the fuel tank ring.

When the ring is unscrewed, remove the filter from the tank.

The figure shows what needs to be dismantled: remove the mesh, float and connector at the bottom of the filter element.

We take a new fuel cleaning element, put a mesh and a float on it.

We install the element in the gas tank and assemble everything in the reverse order.

Once everything is assembled, don't forget to put the battery terminals back on.

Note! When you start the car, it may not start for some time. This is due to the fact that gasoline takes time to travel throughout the system. There is no need to press the gas pedal to the floor, this will not help. On average, the car starts after 3-4 attempts.

Changing the fuel filter in a Toyota Corolla

Toyota Corolla cars have long gained trust among domestic car enthusiasts. The world first saw these cars back in 1966, and even then the Corolla model literally became a bestseller. It, like other cars of Japanese origin, requires careful care and maintenance, so today we will talk about how to change the Toyota Corolla fuel filter with your own hands at home.

It should immediately be noted that replacing the fuel filter (hereinafter referred to as TF) in Corolla cars in the 120th and 150th bodies of 2007 and 2008 is carried out according to the same principle. The replacement process is almost identical, but in the 120th and 150th bodies the fuel pumps and filters themselves have a different design. Therefore, to make it clear, we will consider replacing these elements separately.

Toyota Corolla 2006 tuning

As you know, vehicles of Japanese origin require high-quality care and the Toyota Corolla is no exception. By carrying out timely maintenance of your machine, you greatly increase its service life.

It is also important to remember that the gasoline filter is an important cleaning component of the entire fuel system, since it is this element that takes the “brunt of the blow.” That is, it filters fuel, retaining metal dust and other wear products. You should keep in mind that failure to replace this component in a timely manner may result in the fuel system simply failing at one point.

Regular operation of a vehicle with a clogged filter can lead to very serious consequences. In particular, there is an additional load on the fuel pump, as a result of which it may fail. In addition, contamination of the element will contribute to improper operation of the engine. In this case, repairs will cost a pretty penny, so you should never forget about replacing the filter.

The following are symptoms that the TF in your Toyota Corolla has already reached the end of its service life:

the car began to “eat” an order of magnitude more gasoline (11 liters instead of the stated 9);
the car does not accelerate as sharply as before;
at low speeds the power disappears (very weak “traction”);
the vehicle stalls and may stall at traffic lights;
in the morning the car will be very difficult to start (or not start at all);
incorrect gear shifting. As a result of severe contamination, the transmission may not correctly transmit engine commands to change gears. Thus, they can be carried out either at the wrong time, or the checkpoint will completely stop responding to the driver’s actions.

Replacement for Corolla 120 body

What will be needed for replacement?

The average lifespan of a TF is 50 thousand km. But this mileage is designed for Japanese roads and the service life of the element is significantly reduced by at least half if you regularly drive in dusty areas. In general, it all depends on the conditions of the region in which your vehicle is used. Therefore, on Toyota it is better to replace the fuel filter at least every 25 thousand kilometers . So, if you understand that the time has come to replace the fuel system cleaning element, then you need to prepare in advance:

directly to the fuel filter. The original assembled TF for Corolla will cost at least 4 thousand rubles (about 1 thousand hryvnia), while a Chinese-made filter will cost 2,500 rubles (about 700 hryvnia). Of course, it is better to install the original on your car, but domestic motorists have long practiced installing Chinese filters, which often work no worse than Japanese ones;
two o-rings, the cost of which is 200 rubles (50-60 hryvnia);
flat screwdriver or knife;
Phillips screwdriver;
a little rag;
vacuum cleaner;
container for draining fuel from the fuel pump.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing an element

So, let's start replacing the TF on your Toyota Corolla in the 120th body of 2007 and 2008.

First of all, we dismantle the rear seats of your car and remove the upholstery located under the seats.
You can see the fuel pump cap.
Take a knife or flat screwdriver and carefully (very carefully - the plastic cover is fragile) pry it off and move it to the side. If you can’t remove it, then use a knife to scrape off the layer of sealant that holds the gas tank cap in place.
Remove the cover.
We take a container prepared in advance and very carefully disconnect the hoses (gasoline can flow out of them, about 200 grams).
We see a very dusty cover of our filter; it needs to be vacuumed so that dust does not get into the tank.

Corolla element cover in the 120th body

Take a Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the eight bolts that hold the TF cover in place.
Before you begin dismantling the TF, when the tubes are already disconnected, the car must be started. We wait a few minutes until the car stalls on its own. When this happens, start it again and repeat the procedure. This will remove all gasoline from the system.
Now remove the battery terminals.
We remove the fuel pump and begin its visual inspection. First of all, we look at the mesh (this is an element of rough cleaning of the system) to see how dirty it is.

Then we proceed to disassemble the fuel pump in order to gain access to the fine cleaning element and replace both consumable components.
First you need to dismantle the float.
When the float is removed, we dismantle the coarse filter, and then the fine filter element.

If you did not buy rubber gaskets, then under no circumstances should you lose them.
We take a new filter, install it in the gas tank and assemble everything in the reverse order.
It is important to remember that the old mesh and float must be installed on the new filter.
