I just replaced the fuel filter on my sisters Superb. She was stuck 100km from home on a Saturday. I watched the video and picked up a filter and had it replaced in less than 10 minutes for a cost of €20. Thanks a million.

You're a hero for your sister! 😇

Great, straightforward video. This guy knows his stuff......

[@wawayltd]

Thank you James 😷👍

[@sentinelOO7]

That was brilliant, so simple and straightforward. I'm going to attempt to change it now. I've the same engine, which stutters before starting. Hope it fixes the problem.

[@wawayltd]

Thanks 👍 I hope it helps.

Good work draining out the old diesel in the housing.

If you care about your car, it starts caring about you. 😎

[@johnomahony9205]

@@wawayltd that is very correct. My cars usually fall apart but with all mechanical components in perfect condition. My cars always hit 300000 miles before the body fails.

[@wawayltd]

My VW Sharan is on 402.000 miles. We keep going.

thank you, easy when someone explains

You're welcome 👍

[@nickdegroot2445]

Nice video, is it the same for the gasoline versions?

[@wawayltd]

Thanks 👍 Gasoline is different. I would expect a fuel filter to be at the back of the car, somewhere by the tank.

Nice one, thanks mate

[@wawayltd]

Thanks. Few more coming about this car..

Thanks. 👏🏿

Thank you

[@reyman3544]

Good video. Can you leave the fuel inside when you put new filter in?

[@wawayltd]

I think you can, most of dirt stays in filter. I just like perfection. Even if you leave fuel, probably you still will require some top up for better start.

[@johnomahony9205]

Best to suck it out & clean the housing. Grit is sure to be in the bottom.

[@abdulwahedy4569]

Do you know where is fule safety button (reset)? My car cranking bot not starting. Fule is cut.

[@wawayltd]

There must be a fuse, but I don't know where it is, sorry.

[@radiator1979]

My fuel filter was changed 2 years ago (bosch). I did 23000 kilometers. In the meantime I bought a new Filtron (polish brand) and wonder if it the time to replace bosch or wait until I got to 30000km ?What do you think? What fuel filter intervals do you prefer?60, 30 thousand?

[@wawayltd]

Hello, I do it every 30.000km.

[@ConalRF]

That computer program looks cool.

[@wawayltd]

VCDS, very common for VW enthusiasts. Thanks 😎👍

[@MrTwister86660]

What happens if you turn the ignition on and off a few times? Would that bleed the air out?

[@wawayltd]

As far as I know this method doesn't work on VAGs after 2009. It's either filling filter or bleeding via software now. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Eirehunter22]

The vw 1.6tdi changed fuel filter housings and systems somewhere around 2014/2015 the early one has an o-ring that has to be changed with the filter this type can be primed with the key 3-4 times on off,the newer type has to be filled manually with diesel or primed using a diagnostic tool or vag com👍🏼

[@habibhanjra5852]

Can you tell me where is egr valve in this car plz

[@wawayltd]

I just had a look in manual that I have from Skoda Erwin.. It's so hard to explain. Also they are different Euro 5 and Euro 6. I thought it would be something like my Sharan. Nope! At some point in the future I need to make a video. At the moment it's confusing for me. I need to see manaul and the engine at the same time. Meanwhile I can recommend website that contains Skoda manuals from manufacturer:
erwin.skoda-auto.cz/erwin/showHome.do

[@habibhanjra5852]

@@wawayltd thanks you so much my is euro 5 diesel

[@wawayltd]

I recommend to get manuals from that website, otherwise it's hard trying to explain, especially if I don't understand myself.

[@90albert0]

Nice one, which version of Vagcom have you got?

[@wawayltd]

It's current version is 19.6.2 and I just noticed that it's asking for update. I have full official version currently limited to 3 VINs.

[@joeguerin6611]

Hi, can I fit a fuel filter with a separate o ring seal in a Skoda Octavia 1600cc diesel 2011.
Thanks in advance

[@wawayltd]

I used to have 2012 Seat Altea 1.6tdi. There was a separate O-ring on a filter housing lid. If you have the same - just fit it as it was before.

CLHA engine?
