(Audi Q5 TDI Fuel Filter Change- How To)

[@ariantaria2065]

Easy location to replace it ,,even easier when it is self priming, no diagnostic tool needed or another method applied,,thanks for you video

Glad to hear the video was helpful for you! It's great when replacing the fuel filter on the Audi Q5 is straightforward, especially with the self-priming feature. Simple maintenance tasks like this can make a big difference in keeping your vehicle running smoothly. If you have any more questions or need assistance in the future, feel free to reach out. Happy driving

I didn't think it would start. I have been doing a little research and I thought it would need to be pressurized before it would start. Either though vcds or other odb2 interface or jumper wire. I have a 2015 q5 Tdi. I guess I will try it your way and see what happens. Thanks

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Changing the fuel filter can definitely be a bit nerve-wracking, especially if you're unsure about the starting process afterward. I understand your concerns about pressurizing it before starting, but rest assured, in many cases, it's not necessary. Each vehicle might have its own quirks, but generally speaking, after changing the fuel filter, the engine should start up fine without needing additional pressurization. Your 2015 Q5 TDI might follow the same pattern. ALSO, THIS METHOD CAN BE APPLIED TO MANY BMWS, AND MERCEDES (IF THE VEHICLE HAS TUBE TYPE FULE FILTER) Of course, it's always a good idea to be cautious, so if you're uncertain, feel free to consult with a mechanic or refer to your vehicle's manual for any specific instructions. Good luck with the filter change, and I hope everything goes smoothly for you! If you have any more questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask. Safe driving! Thank You

Hello , do it works same on my audi Q5 2.0TDI 2013 ? I mean do i need VCDS to take the air out or just with ignition? And can this destroy they pression pump? THANKS

For your Audi Q5 2.0 TDI 2013, if you are referring to bleeding air from the fuel system, here’s what you need to know: ### **1. Bleeding Air from the Fuel System:** - For most modern diesel engines like the one in your Q5, the fuel system is generally self-bleeding. You don't usually need specialized tools like VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) to remove air from the fuel lines after a filter change or when the system has been opened. - You can typically bleed air by cycling the ignition (turning the key to the "on" position without starting the engine) several times. This allows the electric fuel pump to prime the system and push air out. Do this 3-5 times, waiting a few seconds each time. ### **2. Using VCDS:** - Using VCDS is not usually required just for air bleeding, but it can be used to activate the fuel pump manually and ensure the system is properly primed if there's a significant amount of air trapped. - VCDS can also clear any related fault codes that might arise from fuel system issues. ### **3. Risk to the Pressure Pump:** - Air in the fuel system can damage the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP), as these pumps rely on diesel fuel for lubrication. Running the engine with air in the system can cause the pump to run dry, leading to wear or damage. - Ensuring the air is properly bled before starting the engine minimizes this risk. ### **Recommended Steps:** 1. Replace the fuel filter (if that’s the reason for bleeding air). 2. Turn the ignition on (without starting the engine) for about 10 seconds, then off again. Repeat this step 3-5 times. 3. Try starting the engine. It may take a few seconds longer to start initially as the system primes itself. 4. If the engine doesn’t start, repeat the ignition cycle. If you have any concerns or the engine still doesn’t start properly, using VCDS to prime the system manually is recommended to avoid damaging the HPFP.
