1. Park your vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine. Allow the engine to cool down completely before starting the work.
2. Locate the fuel filter. The fuel filter on the Holden Cruze is located beneath the rear seat of the vehicle.
3. Remove the rear seat. To remove the rear seat, pull up on the front edge of the seat until it disengages from the clips holding it in place. Then, lift the seat up and out of the vehicle.
4. Locate the fuel filter housing. The fuel filter housing is a black plastic housing located on the driver's side of the vehicle, just behind the rear seat.
5. Remove the fuel filter housing cover. To remove the fuel filter housing cover, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry it up. Be careful not to damage the housing or the cover.
6. Remove the old fuel filter. Once the housing cover is removed, you can see the old fuel filter. To remove the filter, simply pull it out of the housing. Be careful not to spill any fuel.
7. Install the new fuel filter. Insert the new fuel filter into the housing, making sure that it is seated properly.
8. Replace the fuel filter housing cover. Replace the fuel filter housing cover and secure it with the flat-head screwdriver.
9. Reinstall the rear seat. Reinstall the rear seat by aligning the front edge of the seat with the clips in the vehicle floor and then pushing down on the seat until it locks into place.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any fuel leaks around the fuel filter housing. If you see any leaks, tighten the housing cover until the leak stops.
11. That's it! You have successfully changed the fuel filter on your Holden Cruze.
