W212 E350 Estate 2011 - fuel filter

[Grover2000]

Please can someone advise on how to change the fuel filter on this engine.

I have removed the air filters but need to remove the turbo outlet pipe to clear the fuel filter.

There is a front guard that needs removing (I can see the top two bolts but limited room - can't see the lower bolt)

Any help on the matter is greatly appreciated

There is no lower bolt, it pushed into a ruber grommet, you won’t believe how much effort is needed to pull that up!

When that off, if you follow the air box down your find a bolt holding it to the front of the engin, if you remove that, you can pull the metal turbo pipe back enough to remove, the other bottom bolt is a real pig if you never done it!
