Audi A6/A4 fuel filter used in video : https://amzn.to/2GI0t98
CHEAP Repair Manuals For Any Vehicle – https://bit.ly/3gA0tHg
In todays episode we are depressurizing the fuel system and changing out the fuel filter on the 07 Audi A6 Avant. This process is the same for the A4’s as well and it does not matter if your car is a wagon or sedan.
*Remember to unplug fuel pump fuse and then start the car to release the fuel pressure. Audi runs on Direct Injection which is very high pressure. Failure to do so may result in injury or gas sprayed in your eye.
Otherwise this is very easy DIY maintenance that can be done in under an hour or so in your driveway or garage.

Most thorough video for fuel filter replacement on an A6. Thank you for this! If you have more a6 videos that would be dope! Specially audi a6 pcv valve replace.
Mine leaks like crazy after I changed mine, 2007 A4. Gonna do it again from start to finish and see if something got messed up. I didnt know about the fuse trick, super helpful
Out with the old in with the new.
I see u r fan of Chrisfix if I'm not wrong.
BTW how do I I buy the right one before doing anything to it?
Can I just go to Auto shop and asked for them?
I have an S6 to do soon, if its not in the same place at least I know what it looks like, many thanks Mr. Cole
Good work man now I feel confident doing this just have to be careful with the fuel line connectors.
Hi, for some reason I've attempted to replace my fuel filter as well, my 2007 Audi most likely has the factory fuel filter.
Somehow… I kinda managed to broke one of the "blue pushing tabs" it's just cracked in half, but never been able to remove the filter. Once I noticed that i almost ruined one of my fuel lines… I've stop bothering with it…
Now, I think I should have pull out the fuse before, to release pressure on the line… I guess that's what I did wrong. Thanks for the tip. I'll try to find a retaining clip to replace it with mine and have the filter replaced eventually. Thanks for the tip. You just earned a new subscriber!
i have a 2010 audi s5 v8, i got a P0087 code on my OBD with my check engine light, should i start with the fuel filter?
Nice video and work, I have a question, I bought an audi a4 2005 quattro 2.0T It run good but I can't pass 85mph .
Perfect! Thanks.
You can take the rubber covers where the fuel line goes on the new fuel pump and place them on the old pump while you are removing it. It will stop the fuel from coming out of the old pump.
Just done that today, it took an age to take them hose clips off.
Do you have to drain the gas tank first? I assume you do but just wanted to ask. I found my A6 at the auction and it drives perfectly but there are a few lights on that read as sensors. Also it is a little rough when idle. Could that be fuel pressure or the fuel lines needing cleaned? Thanks!
Super helpful – gonna try this on mine hopefully soon. Mine is a junky 190k mile 4.2 v8 car from an auction. It runs fine but about 3/4 throttle and up it stutters super bad, and will throw misfire codes. The engine will then run rough the remainder of the drive until I shut the car off and restart it. Really strange.
