Fuel filter
« on: 28 October 2008, 14:48 »
Afternoon Chaps.
Quick question, Is it straight forward to change the fuel filter?
Just had Vw service my car,   :rolleyes: but they didn't change the fuel filter.  :huh:
Done^^^ was straight forward.

A lube service was £79.99  :shocked: lol plus a free visual check  :nerd:
I only went in for a new coolant/expansion bottle!!
I bought the bottle and two G12+ then asked about the service, got them to fit the bottle and drain the coolant, which was an extra £15  :shocked: lol plus £20.50 for fuel filter.
Total price was £121.70  :rolleyes: oh plus £24.72 for coolant X2 and new bottle.  :sick:

The visual check came up with....
wishbone bushes split      £126.24
o/s/r axel beam bush split £107.50
n/s/r                             £107.50
o/s undertray damaged     £161.83   lol  :shocked:

very easy -

need a pair of grips to undo the clamps and push back along the fuel lines
pull the fuel lines off the fuel filter
loosen the bracket holding the fuel filter
remove and replace and refit the fuel lines

about a 10 minute job max  :smiley:
