Fuel Filter

So I need to do my fuel filter at some point in the (not immediate) future. Got quoted $350 for it replaced!?!?!

 

Had a look at partsouq and the filter is ~$50 (https://partsouq.com/en/search/all?q=42072AE000)

Am i missing something? is it harder than simply removing the rear seat and fuel pump assembly and then replacing the filter??

Guessing its not someone whos done one before. Even for me it was a 30min job. Would be max 60 minutes going very carefully which is what say 80+gst unless its a dealer at $120+gst or whatever. Cant imagine that was a dealer quote tho....

It was a quote from a well known Subaru mechanic in CHCH....

Other question would be what makes you think you need to do it?

How old is the pump? If it’s the original a new pump could be worthwhile doing at the same time.

 Just had cambelt down and they did a theother 100k inspections, one of those things was the fuel filter, but when i heard the price i quickly said no thanks

Yes it's that simple. Enjoy.

 

Partsouq price is often cheaper than dealer cost, so full retail plus labour plus gst, 350 would be pretty close.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
