hello

water in fuel came on this morning so i am going to change the filter and have a look at the sensor.
before i start taking covers off , does anyone know the location on the car?
thanks

If I remember Fuel filter is located under plastic cover front middle part of the car little more to the passenger side. When you are chaning the filter watch out that you do not brake the sensor (plastic thing which is If I still remember screwed in the filter) - A service guy told me that it can brake easy 2008 RRS TDV8 HSE, Java black, Alpaca,.....

Don't jump in just yet, mine does it after fording and it's just a sensor issue and not actually water in the fuel.

Have you been thorugh water/deep puddles recently? RRS gone

Either drain the filter, or get a new filter, and don't replace the sensor. Comes with a plastic plug in the bottom without a sensor

If that does not cure it, it will need a new filter housing. Around £65 or so, a genuine filter costs around £45. May be worth just biting the bullet and replace the housing if draining it does not work

Or just ignore it in the hope that the message never reappears like mine  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

thankyou all for the help, located near the driver side under transmition cover, new fuel filter fitted.

I changed mine and now the bloody water in fuel light comes on and I didn't re fit my sensor lol

I get this about every 6 months or so and just clears by itself  2009 3.6 TDV8 HSE Santorini Black
