Just had the Fuel Filter changed on the C4 as the old one had done 6 years and 38K miles
A bit of googling suggested it's a PITA job on the 1.6 being buried down behind the engine and tales of removing the intake pipework and Battery etc. I used a Peugeot specialist who said the filter 'unit' was £32.00 + £20.00 labour + vat.
i don't think that's too bad?
Cars in my care:
2021 Kia Spottage 1.6 Pez Turbo Dual Clutch Gearbox Trickery
2013 Renner Twingo - donkey work
On my Honda CDTi, the filter was £60 and wasn't the easiest (but not the hardest) to get to. The filter is more than you get on the 406 - it comes with a whole housing (just like on the 407). I don't think you can replace just the elements inside. A bit wasteful...

Yes, just about the correct price!
Didn't I give a how-to replace the filter a couple of times?

£60 was mega expensive!
I find these more of a pain than the Citroens, filter is down the back of the engine compartment!
Filter is a big lump of plastic, filter/housing/pipe connections all in one. Price sounds aboot right. I changed mine and don't recall it being overly difficult but it was a tad buried.
(I balked a nearly a tenner for one for my 406).
