How to change fuel filter VW T5 TRANSPORTER Van [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]

[@warpmodeshop]

Thanks for the great video. I did some research on this (being a complete amateur) and read that on T5.1 (2010-2015) the diesel filter should to be filled completely first from VF port, because its a common rail engine and they dont like air in fuel system. I filled it until spill over before removing the old filter and when the new one was fastened to place I filled it again until spill over. Then no problem with the starting. I tried the priming once, and then started it and no problems 👍

I'll try that.

[@jake-lx4eu]

Did you put some diesel in a bottle or something to fill it up?

[@warpmodeshop]

@@jake-lx4eu Yes, I had a jerrycan with diesel in it and a small funnel. By the way, I tried the priming only once and then I accidentally turned the key too far and the engine started. But it is recommended in the video to do more than 1 priming.

@@warpmodeshop thank you for the quick reply sir!

[@user-ig3vj2hi9o]

Mistake. The new filter must be filled with diesel or an injection system cleaner additive before reconnecting because otherwise there will be an air pocket and it needs to be drained

[@autodocuk]

Yes, you are absolutely right and we will definitely take this into account in our new videos.

No you just need to prime and turn the engine some revoulitons,

[@THLLS-ej2tq]

That's a big help. Thought I was going to have to crawl around underneath like a bug again😊😊😊.

Hi , so does the 1.9 t5 have a guess pump in the tank to full up the filter?

[@autodocuk]

In this case, the auto has a booster pump in the tank.

[@jacooosthuyzen9732]

How long do you need to prime the diesel filter for? I suspect I've done it for too short of time now my vehicle stopped idling and doesn't want to start up again. Any advice?

[@autodocuk]

It’s difficult to advise anything based on the description, we recommend contacting the car service.

[@danielprasad770]

Umm was the filter pre filled ? And do you just crank the key or just turn the ignition on

[@autodocuk]

The car is equipped with a booster pump; when the ignition was turned on, the filter was filled with fuel.

[@urimcocaj2930]

[@mariusvanniekerk7707]

Alright then, how do I get the air out now that my vehicle died?
Guess I'll try to fill the filter and hope for the best.

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, we do not have such information, we recommend that you consult with your mechanic.

Fill with diesel at the VF port or a bottle of injector cleaner.

[@daniellunn799]

Isn't that why he turned the key to ignition a few times to prime the filter 🤔

[@user-gc9sx7mb5f]

Thanks. Started perfect

[@FedupwiththeBS]

👏🏻👍🏻

[@erik.landen]

In a video from 2017 you guys admit in the comments that the filter needs to be pre filled. This one ruclips.net/video/il4SNSQgEoU/видео.html
Why make a nearly identical video if the first one had wrong information?

[@autodocuk]

You are right, this method will allow you to bleed the fuel system faster.
If you turn on the ignition in the first position for a few seconds, the filter will fill, as in this video
