I thought that all the facelift models had the fuel filter in a plastic pot on the thermostat housing. If this is the case, then there is a bulb on top of the drivers side engine mount. You should pump this until it goes hard. The engine will then start as normal. If you're not sure that anything is getting through then loosen the union on the fuel pump and watch the fuel leak when you pump whatever you're car is fitted with. The screw on the fuel filter is just to let water out.
