My question is I sent my car for fuel filter to be installed and the person install the new Hyundai part but the car couldn't start and he removed it again reinstall the old one and the car works. What seems to be the problem, because the new filter did pump the petrol right but the car couldn't start and I notice a cash up hot of an energy but not showing on the alerts inside the car may be im to afraid of what could happen to my car help me. Can I still install the new fuel filter or the filter is faulty?

Fuel filter is under a panel under the back seat of the vehicle. Screws out of the top of the tank with the fuel pump and sender unit. Replace filter making sure you swap over all the O rings and seals and that everything fits okay. Be careful not to damage sender unit. If you miss any seals or O rings or anything doesn't seat properly the car will not start, so make sure you are very thorough when you install the new filter.

This guide will help you see with diagrams below to show you on your car.

I have a 2005 Hyundai Getz gl 1.3 I have had a service recently changed the petrol filter & petrol pump. When I drive for about 5-10kms the car sputters loosing all power and acceleration and comes to a halt. I have to pull over for 10mins

Check fuel pressure, check for any unresolved fault codes, not all codes will set a check light, start here.

Hi when I first start up and drive off the car travels as normal but then loses all power (motor only) when going up a hill. This does not happen all the time and we have replaced fuel filters etc. The car is an automatic. Once pulled over the car starts again and drives off as normal

Is the Check Engine Light showing when this occurs?
Did you check the accelerator cable to see if there is too much slack in it?
Ensure the floor mat is not too thick and afffecting the gas pedal travel.
