Word to the wise.
Those with 2005+ Foci, the fuel FILTER is the same, however the nylon U-Clips are different from previous Foci.
This is a problem because most filter manufacturers include new clips with the new filter, however they don't fit the new-style connector.
And...a pair of new (proper fitting) clips from the dealer will run you $15.
So.....be forewarned. Do NOT break the clips removing them. Trust me, I learned the hard way. Generally I just cut the old clips because it's easier that farting around with them when you're on your back under the car, and they give you the new ones; I ended up having to make an emergency trip to the only late-night dealer in the city 4 hours before leaving town on a vacation.
