fuel filter change on MK2 any tips

[golfvr6]

It is sensible to depressurise the fuel system first, ie. turn the engine over with the fuel pump fuse remove. The only other tip i can give you is undo the pipe unions on the filter SLOWLY, with plenty of rag to absorb any petrol that leaks out.
Oh yes and the obvious one, always disconnect the battery negative.

p.s whats this bentley that everyone look in ?

[richandhazel]

Its a more like a workshop manual.......much more detailed and far more info than the Haynes manual.

[Diluxe]

where can i get this bentley from?

[richandhazel]

I'll upload a page that I produced a while back that tells you where you can get it from for free........but for some reason it didn't work for everyone.

Alternatively you can get it from Amazon:-

I like the sound of the free one...........if you can post up the link or the page that would be excellent

cheers

Sorry, I've been a little delayed, DHL have just delivered the rest of my tools that I needed for overhauling the gearbox, so I have been having a little play.

Back to this Bentley........won't be long..........

You also need new copper washers although these may come with the filter.
