Fuel Filter

[steadite]

I'm at ~60k miles on my 1.4L. Is there a fuel filter somewhere that should be replaced?? I'm having trouble finding any reference to it.

Thanks

Just checked the factory service manual (yes I bought one) and it states that a fuel strainer made of woven plastic is attached to the lower end of the fuel pump module. It goes on to state the it normally does not require maintenance...... yada.....yada.....yada.....

No the sonic is not equipped with a traditional fuel filter.

That quote is from the following related thread:

I'm not surprised they did this. I'm used to the Saturn S-Series, and '98+ models had a 100k mile filter, but most owners never needed to replace it, or would at least not need it until much closer to 200k miles.
