Great video, really helpful and the cat sticking it's head in really adds something special!

Another great tutorial; replaced the filter right after cleaning the injectors. Followed both of your videos to get the jobs done.

I lube the seals with fuel during install, too. fuel-soaked rag wipe the new seals. Never had a problem. I don't put the fuel back in the tank. It's good fire starter for the trash burn barrel! :) I never had removed the cannister on my 06 ... but seeing the "sludge" drain from yours I may do that ... I do run bioDiesel quite frequently so hopefully that's reducing the amount of this contamination. I'll check at my next service which I do every 10K with an IDI kit for my BRM engine ... engine oil, fuel, cold air intake, and cabin air filters. Every 10K miles. arrived here ISO a good how to video to show my kid who is getting this car. Thanks. well done.

Thanks for the video. Your instructions are great for doing a very clean job with no spills.

Did this today and this video was super helpful. Thanks!

I had a 1989 Golf diesel and a 92 jetta diesel. On both of those car I found a drain valve on the bottom of the fuel tank so any water could be drained off. Water is heavier than fuel and it goes to the bottom of the tank. Thanks for the video. I loved it.

Awesome demo. Nice Clear narration.

Thank you. A nice clear video. Helped me along my filter change

I've never changed my fuel filter before, I've had this car for about 8 years now. Had really hard time pulling old (made in chekoslovakia) filter out, ended up dislodging and pulling out the tube in the middle. To reinstall the new one, it was going hard as well, new gaskets around the filter opening were really tight. Also was hard to put the lid back, with new o ring...had to push in down in place by tightening the screws, one at a time, little by little. Will try to replace this filter more often now. Also cleaned EGR valve.

Great vid! Still current in my case as I drive an older model; kudos for the cat too!! Looks like he takes his job seriously! :D

Всем привет! На основе опыта хотел дать несколько советов:. 1. Если вы осушили стакан фильтра то, чтобы избежать попадания воздуха в систему нужно налить дизель в стакан, или 3-4 минуты путем включения-выключения зажигания прокачать систему. Если запустить двигатель быстрее, то сухой фильтр начнет впитывать дизель и появится воздушна пробка с топливной системе. 2. На некоторых топливных фильтрах очень тугие резиновые кольца в центральном отверстии, чтобы облегчить установку такого фильтра нужно смазать моторным маслом центральную колбу на которую ставиться фильтр.

i have 06 tdi with 170k miles never change fuel filter before i know i should but hate to spent 50 bucks for filter + labor now i will do because free video ,thanks a lot

Very good! I like your assistant! She was curious what are you doing there without her!

Love the cat, OMG! That is so hilarious!! Thanks for the video. I will use this info on my TDI.

Excellent. Thank you for posting.

Thank you so much for this upload

when you pour the diesel purge and then the diesel fuel into the housing new filter do you pour them both right over the middle

Nice man! Thanks!!! You know your stuff

What is the name of the black part in the filter housing? My dad gave me his 2006 Mk5 tdi and said he broke the spring in the bottom when he last changed the fuel filter. What symptoms would this cause? Would it cause the CEL to come on and the engine to run rough, almost like it went into limp mode? Sometimes after the rpm's finally get up it will go but other times it will hardly move and smokes alot.

I have a 2007 will turning the key prime the pump/filter for this model or will I need the program tool?

So how do you manually prime the lines on an 09+ if you don't have vcds?

thx for this great video.

great video! Unfortunately I didn't see your video until I damaged the center part while trying to remove my old filter. 2 of the 4 tabs on the bottom that clip into the metal housing broke. I can't find that part number online anywhere. Do you know where I can get a replacement?

Great Video !! Thank you

Exactly thanks for ur video's 👍

Why the fuel filter is black? It is contaminated with oil or samthing else? It is normal the black color in that filter? Thanks

Thank you; very helpful. I take it the cat is the foreman?

Another good video Chitty, the forum has gone crap since you sold it, the TDI Wiki link doesn't work now

good vid

Thanks, very informative. :-)

many thanks bro. great man if possible we need to know how to replace cabin filter big respect from muslim

Curious of the priming part. not sure why that is particularly needed. I'd simply leave the diesel in there, and place the new filter in it. perhaps not a VW recommended option, yet not sure how there could be any adverse effect. thoughts on that??

the best jetta

The last time I changed my fuel filter it was extremely hard to get the filter out, i pryed it out with a screwdriver but the part in the middle of the filter that shouldn't come out, did, I put it back together and put in a new filter, my car started up fine afterwards but now my car air locks every morning if I don't rev it up when I start it, any idea what I did wrong?

I think I didn't put enough diesel in fuel filter tank and got the air in my fuel system now... despite the fact that I let fuel pump to work couple of times with turning ignition ON before starting. It started and after couple of seconds stopped. Now and my car isn't starting. Any tips how to fix it?

Good Job......

Do you have to use the diesel purge when replaceing fuel filter??

that vid will pull a good few views.

I appreciate the video...my fuel filter came with a small silver grommet thing...where was that to go?

YES. You have the other style of fuel filter, see my website linked in the video description for details on that style.

This is also correct for the 2006 VW golf tdi 1.9 liter hatchback. I hope nobody else bought the wrong filter like I did.

Kool Cat !!

hello Great video, i cant remove my filter, but in these video i see you force it with a screw... i hope i can remove it. Thanks

Why do recommend putting the old fuel back into the tank? Sorry if you have answered already. Jon :)

Grazie

Sweet cat!!!!

The black thing you saw in the bottom might just as well be engine oil which enters the return line by the vacuum pump. The have a weakness for leaking oil into the fuel and its colours the fuel totally black on the way back toi the fuel tank :-/

The cat should have had a larger role.

great video great help

Cute kitty!

cool cat

Nice video, but I would never dump the fuel that is in the fuel filter housing back into the tank.

do u pour purge & diesel right over the middle

Mechanically inclined cat :)

Orange cat checked the job so it's fine 😊

Elbow in the way of view when prying out filter...

Rookies

The Volkswagen Dealership has told me that all they do is take out the filter and put a new one in. They don't even use a computer to prime it, they burn the starter up.

furry apprentice.

rubbish vw filter design..fact

While the video appears to be great, especially with the positive comments, I have to offer this comment. The audio on this video is terrible. The volume is loud enough to hear but your voice is so fuzzy, the words are indistinguishable. It's like you are mumbeling or spiting into the microphone. I can't understand a word. Hope others can hear better. Maybe its my computer but other youtube vids are fine.

Bad video, you pop something off, you doesn't let see what popped off,or later what you put or popped back on.

when you pour the diesel purge and then the diesel fuel into the housing/new filter do you pour them nothing right over the middle?
