A6 TDi fuel filter

[Blue Two]

All,

I'm not a member of any other car forums so I'd thought I'd ask you folk for some advice, if I may? I have as well as the little rollerskate an A6 1.9 TDI 2002, 130bhp. I'd like to change the fuel filter myself, it has a metal cartridge with a few tubes coming out the top. Once the new unit is fitted (filled with fresh diesel?) does the system self bleed?

Thank you,

Blue Two.

The filter sounds very similar to the one used on early model A2 TDi's. When I change mine I don't even fill the filter with diesel and the system has always self primed.

Cheers Spike

Have you tried here? http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?327-Audi-A6-C5-Forum-1998-2004

I use another part of the forum for my C6 and they haven't failed to help me out yet.

In a similar vein, I've had a few PM's from one hit wonders recently and spent ages composing replies, only to find that if you don't respond within an hour or two they don't bother visiting the site again. All very annoying

Dead right. Needs to be a bit of give as well as take.

Spike, you seem to be doubly annoyed there ;-)

I was..........but posting the same message twice was an accident.
