Any idea what is in the fuel that makes it brown? What do you think would be a reasonable service interval for the filter?
I had a 1998 saturn and the fuel filter was below the car where u would fill up your gas. Its too bad they don't this anymore.
I didn't think about my fuel filter for my b8.5 s5. I just hit 50k miles. I wonder if it needs to be changed.
Great DIY. One thing you forgot to mention or show, was to put back the fuse for the Fuel Pump. I'm sure that's logical to reinsert but then again, this is the internet.
great tutorial. i have the impression that all german cars are over-engineered. i would gladly pay an extra grand for a car that a diy-er can maintain. neither filters or the fluids they filter are "life time". all the car makers want to do is have the car not fail during the warranty period.
can i assume the exact same procedure would apply to a 2010 a5 b8?
In my Country, I hardly can find someone who will take this job. My odometer shows 255K km. Thanks for the video and nice work. Started to search for fuel filter options for my B.5, hopefully, it will not be so expensive. For this procedure, I'll take my chances and perform a DIY, looks pretty reasonable to be honest.
