Are there 2 fuel filters on VF 6.0 CALAIS SEDAN?

Thanks @monstar that's informative.

Sounds like Holden has yet again has been caught out in their cost cutting shenanigans with the last Aussie built commodore.

I don't believe the Holden line that the fuel filter doesn't need to be replaced under normal driving conditions. So it seems we need to mod our vehicles to bring back filter replacement servicability that Holden removed. Now the question is how often should we replace our fuel filters once the mod is done?

Thanks, was a group buy on G8 forum a few years back. Here is part to replace, cost about same in Aussie dollars through Holden a few years back.
Depends how often you run tank low fuel as to the life expectancy, because motor is cooled by the surrounding fuel. Anything from 75k km to 300k my guess.
Bottom line with this setup keep tank over half filled else replacing is not that hard in the large scheme of things.

Thanks @monstar, i'll keep it in mind that the fuel tank should be atleast 1/2 full and not run down to fill lamp illuminating which is how i've always driven my other vehicles.

It does make a mockery of the bulls!t claims by the manufacturers that they remove spare tyres to save weight and thus fuel (while the fuel tank shouldn't really be run down for fear the fuel pump life may be shortened). We all know the real reaon is cost cutting

Where can we get the cool cover assembly from?

Was there a factory cover for S1 VE?

I’m having trouble understanding where the fuel filter is actually located within the pump module

@monstar do you have a pic you can add to supplement all the great info you’ve added to date
