Find another dealer or get on your back and do it yourself.

But it does not need to be done until the car starts warning you every ignition cycle.

Good advise think I will take it, I felt somewhat of a money grab here, just wanted to see what others said....

Still a lot less than the price of $275 that OP was quoted.

yeah, internet pricing tends to be lower than a service dept.

But with the Canadian loonie, it's worth about the same amount.

I negotiated with my dealer to get the filter for $84. Your dealer is probably quoting you the price for the whole housing, not just the filter.

I also wrote a DIY http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/169-...0945-cruze-diesel-diy-fuel-filter-change.html

That's pretty nebulous. What's a spanner?

A spanner wrench.

When I called my local (Canadian) dealer, I was told that the filter itself was $150 or so but that it was unavailable in Canada. He then went on to say that the whole module - filter plus new housing - was $250 or so and thats what they were selling. I ended up buying from Rockauto simply because after shipping, they were the best deal I could find when shipping cost was considered. I also bought the cabin and intake air filters in the same order to combine shipping. The fuel filter cost $112 CDN, which after the exchange rate was comparable.

gmpartsdirect had a lower price for the filter but a much higher shipping cost. Overall, rockauto was the better deal.
