Title: Fuel Filter!!
Post by: EuanGtTdi on 10 April 2010, 16:48

Ive un-done the clamps and the clip thats got the oseals on it!

do i just put the new one straight in and connect back up and put the new seals on? or do i have to do something with this white wheel thing on the bottom of the filter like bleed it or something?  :undecided:

Just stick the new filter back in, pop the clips etc back on then start the car as normal

Don't you have to fill the fuel filter with fuel first?  :undecided:

Reading a few posts on vwdiesel.net they seem to use it on TDI's as well as the old TD's.

It's meant to be a pretty good cleaner for the engine.
