• Fuel filter (GM 96335719)

Note:

In accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, the fuel filter is replaced after one year of operation or after 10,000 km (10,000 km), whichever comes first.

Jerks when the car is moving, first at high and then at low speeds, most likely indicate a clogged filter.

After installing the fuel filter, be sure to check the fuel filter connections to the fuel lines with the engine running for gasoline leaks.
