Good day to all,

I've been looking for info on the fuel filter for my 2003 9-3 but can't find much. What is the part number and where is the filter at? Much appreciated.

The 9-3SS cars in the US have a fuel filter that is an integral part of the fuel pump. The 9-3SS cars in Europe have an external fuel filter... Ron

Thanks... So I'd have to get the whole pump out to replace it? Yarg.

If you have a petrol engine, the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump. I don't believe we have any other type.

Why do you need to replace it? If its not bad it should be fine.

Getting rough idle... changed plugs and coils. A buddy thought it might be the fuel filter. That and we had one replaced on another car, and it was really nasty.

What codes are you getting for the rough idle?

Maybe a vacuum leak

Never seen one clog. Not a serviceable item. As said, check for vac leaks. Clean MAF and TB.
