Hey what fuel filter you think is best? I saw different brands like the
MANN, Beck Arnley, Hengst, Mahle and so on. BTw nice DIY thanks much for
the teachings keep up great work and take care of car
great video, good info….i’ve been meaning to do mine…and just was too
lazy to find out on my own car were the fuel filter is…so i googled it
and found this video…
kinda funny…my mk5 2.5l jetta is also laser blue
best ways to release fuel system pressure is to remove fuel pump relay/fuse
and letting the car run until it dies…oryou can also unplug the fuel
pump(if you can access the connector) and let it run until the car
dies…you may get an engine light…just clear it after you’re done
or you can leave the car sit for a few hours…and let pressure bleed off
normally(pressure will bleed off normally when the car sits…just let it
run it’s course…i’d suggest let the car sit for ~4hrs or so)
either way like OP said int he video fuel some WILL drip out anyway…but
won’t squirt/spray out if you release fuel ssytem pressure
ps: fyi…removing the fuel cap is not going to release any pressure on
the fuel system…it’ll just release pressure in the fuel tank…which
#1 is already vented thru the cap to a certain extent, and #2 release fuel
vapors(which is why the cap only vents to a certain extent….to keep fuel
vapor emissions low and make the car “greener”)
quick tip: you can put the caps from the new filter on the old one after
disconnecting the fuel lines to avoid annoying gas spillage.
I’ve read you have to do something with a VAGCOM after replacing to purge
air from the lines no?
nice video thanks. just got my mkv jetta and know nothing about. a question
i have is after you disconnect the lines from the original filter could the
caps that are on the new fuel filter be used when removing the old one to
keep the fuel contained while removing?
How often are you suppose to replace the Fuel Filter?
Think the interval is 40,000 miles. Changing it once a year is a good
interval though. they are cheap enough to do so.
yo man you should have a plastic shield covering all that wiring and filter
housing thats why everything was rusted to shit lol also you were right if
you pull the plug for the fuel system you get a lot less fuel then lat the
filter would be almost empty. but hey your car your rules
