that’s a really good spot for the jack stands
Can you do a video how to change the oxygen sensors! that would help so much
Hey nice video…..could you do the spark plugs…. I have a 01 jetta 1.8t.
So its probably similar.
em kay 4 what a goon if I didnt need to learn how to do this I wouldnt even
watch the video
@WingsofBliss $20
Awesome
Thank you! This helped me out today haha
Great video. If I can do it anyone can! Thanks again.
Great Video! Good job. A couple things. 1. It is “Mark 4”, not “em kay 4”
2. You have to turn the front clip upside down to get to the tab, but you
mention that in one of the comments. The back one the tab is already down.
3. The first tab I tried to push down was hard as heck, so I sprayed just a
tiny bit of WD-40 on the second one and it came off with my thumb nail.
Much easier! That’s it. Thanks again!
How do you take off the clips on each side of fuel filter
Nice diy
Great vid man;but before you start the car turn the ignition key few time
before firing up so that gas pump gets full
Thank you!
Should be changed every 20,000 or so, less strain on the fuel pump and
better fuel econemy.
Rad!
@ImpatientWreck thanks man it looks a lot better now. I got new wheels
Hi Buddy, Just done this today – all went smooth, thanks for the video. I
found each clip by pushing around the whole thing till I found the slight
indentation when you apply pressure, then WD40’d that then used the method
where you hold the clip in with one flathead screwdriver and slowly push
the clip back (not too much force) with the another flathead. Great video,
great advice, 30 min job first time, 10-15m max any time after that! Simple.
would leaks really be bad???????????????
Thanks dude good video helped alot series
I had a number of misfire codes on my 2000 Jetta VR6, took it down to the
shop. They replaced the Vehicle Speed Sensor and thought I had a
transmission problem. Check tranny, no debris or anything. They replaced
the filter and fluids. (They thought they broke my oil pan and replaced it
for free, hahaha. I had just apoxyd it a few days before.) Anyways… he
thought it was just the Vehicle Speed Sensor that was causing misreadings.
I’m guessing that’s not the case seeing that I still have the
Did urs stall while you were driving? Mine stalls out when i slow to
stop…
@ZEDNANREHIGH its in my video bro. i show what clips u have to push in with
a flat head screw driver till they click then they come right off. watch
the video again and you will see. All you do is flip the line thing upside
down so the top of the clip you can see and then just push down on the lil
thing and it comes right off
WAIT MAN YOUR GOING TOO FAST.. MY MAIN PROBLEM IS TO GET THESE FUCKEN FUEL
LINES OFF SPENT HOURS TRYING TO FIND A VIDEO TO SHOW ME HOW ??
ill post one up soon! its easy!
Nice video along with a nice car.
nah man. just put it in. turn the key let the fuel pump prime. repeat that
step 2 – 3 times and then you can start the car.
Thanks for posting this! Saved me a lot of time.
I show you how. You push in the part on the clip with a flat head screw
driver and it will come off.
Hi y’all replaced temperature sensor to correct incorrect mixture problem.
My Jetta wouldn’t start when it was hot. it would flood easily and wet the
spark plugs because the fuel air mixture was wrong. This I discovered after
replacing the air and fuel filters as per Ethan B’s brilliant video. Read
somewhere that this may be a factory fault that was swept under the carpet.

Shouldn’t there be presure release valve under the hood? Why starting the
car and removing fuel cap? Also, you dont turn the ignition right on, you
turn it to the end (not starting the car) so that fuel presure can raise
and let fuel flow, leave it like that for 10 sec, then start it, it will
start right away…
Thanks a lot. Just changed the fuel filter on a 10 year old MK4 Golf, went
easy! Good tips re fuse and petrol cap etc. Fingers crossed it will be
starting better now. Fuel pump next if not (any tips on that?)
@scirockalot8v i get the longbeaches on tuesday im excited
Nice Bora 🙂 V6 😀
God I miss my 88 corolla Jedi Snow 88 My wife made me sell it to support
our son. It was worth it though. Nevertheless , anyone in South Africa
driving CA 15176 , take care of her and she’ll take care of you. And may I
buy her back someday?
Where’s those L beezies? Nice DIY.
nk9vVq0pz78 here. the clip works like this.
@Miester187 i changed it because my gas milage went from being 25 in town
to 22 so i figured that was the problem and it was
Did you not have to fill the filter up with fuel before attaching it? –
Only say as I’ve had to do this on Ford Diesels in the past and it’s a pain
to get the car started again
nice! thx for the post!
no it did not. did you put the fuse back in? and did you install the filter
in the correct direction?
did you put that mfd in (in your dash) or did it come stock w/ it
good video, thanks. I had a hard time finding anything in the manual. I
looked for filter and found it but thought it may be the pump.
Good clip man, thanks!
