I just hit 50k on my 01 Cl-S. Though the schedule calls for a fuel filter at 60k miles I thought I'd catch it a bit early. The dealer was out of stock and told me to hold on to my $300 until next time! Yikes. Apparently the filter is in the tank. Does this price sound normal?

 

I thought the fuel filter only cost $43

 

Dude... this car HAS NO FILTER!!!

There is a screen on the bottom of the fuel-pump (near the pickup)... that's it! I think he is charging you for the fuel-pump assembly!!

 

Dgracer:
Old saying: If it works, don't fook with it !

 

I just checked the web for normal and severe (60,000) and don't see anything about a fuel filter??

 

its a scam, if your car works don't replace any filters.... if you have a problem replace it.

 

not sure where you guys are getting the #'s from, but honda says to replace at 100Kmiles.

the tl has a filter in tank that costs $20

 

300 is for labor

 

There is absolutely no mention of fuel filter in the 2001 Acura CL in the maintenance section of the owner’s manual. Where does Honda say a fuel filter should be replaced at 100K miles?

 

I'll do it for $150... 50% off!

 

I have a pdf file of the actual bulletin that Acura techs use for maintenance recommendations for the 2003 CL. No where does in mention routine service of the in-tank fuel filter.

 

i remember reading it from some official source, no idea where though!

dealer schedule says it, but what does the dealer know

 

Could you post the pdf file? I'd like to get a copy... thanks.

 

Does your car stumble or bog down on wide open throttle? If not the the filter is probably still good.

 

Might be a misprint in the manual too. I can't imagine we don't have filter on at all...

 

Item #1 FUEL FILTER SET
List price 23.33

 

We have a fuel filter, it's in the fuel tank. What we're talking about is if it is a maintenance item or not..

 

The fuel filter is not a serviceable item.

 

Yeah, its item #6. And its NOT a filter.... its a screen I believe. All Honda/Acura's have a screen on the fuel-pump pickup. Most earlier Honda's have another in-line filter under the hood as well.

 

if we don't have any exsisting filters, then whats our tune-up parts going be??? just Spark plugs and air Filter????
