Hey guys
Well one thing that came out of my remap at weekend is the need for the fuel filter to be changed! Anyone got some pics of where it is or a guide to changing it please?
Still can't get over the difference the remap has made the car is awesome! Relly feel the power at about 3000 rpm!

It's apparently very easy to change, a 5 minute job. Do a search, this gets asked a lot. I'm on my phone so can't help.

Fuel filter is under your petrol tank, jack your car up and have a look behind your drivers side rear wheel and you will see it, easy job :afro:

Well its not directly there but you WILL see it, look from under the sill, cant miss it.. its silver :wink:

that guide on vw vortex is american, hence why they state the filter is behind the PASSENGER wheel!! if mk4's are anything like my mk2 gti then it really is easy, just changed mine! just note there will be lots of high pressure fuel which will run all down your arms and possibly your armpits so work quickly!!

You should remove the fuse for the fuel pump, then run the car until it stops this lets the pressure out of the system then you ok to replace the filter. :smiley:

In any case with the system depressured it should not pump out.

Indeed and only one pen1s, but that doesnt stop me putting that in places that i am unsure of the outcome! :grin:
I feel for you working in H+S department, that must be the most boring, depressing and platitudinous job available :sad:
Health and safety to be honest, should just be called 'ar5e covering'..
*Most* people have common sense, rules are made for breaking..

It is only a small part of my job, warranty and service admin is the main job, trust me working with or around excavators that are up to 50ton is not boring. :smiley:
