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

[@warp-mode]

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 👍

We're sure your comment will be helpful to many of our viewers.

I'll try that.

[@jake-lx4eu]

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

[@warp-mode]

@@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.

[@jake-lx4eu]

@@warp-mode thank you for the quick reply sir!

[@THLLS-ej2tq]

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

[@autodocuk]

We are glad that this video was useful to you!

[@יוסירוזנפלד-ס2ו]

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. AUTODOC

[@santaloveseivind9784]

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

[@jake-lx4eu]

This is actually really easy to do. I pre-filled the new filter with new diesel by using a Lucazade bottle. Take the rubber caps off all the ports otherwise the air gets trapped. You can compare the weight of the old filter and new filter to see how much fuel you have put in. I did as much as I could be bothered to do. I then fitted it and turned the ignition on 20 times and waited 5 seconds. Van started no problem

[@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.

[@Sjutturaah]

@@autodocuk Oh cmon.. Add a caption to the video informing people that you might need to fill the filter as per the first comment on this video suggests, its clearly a point of failure in this tutorial. The fact that the video is 3 years old and comments keep pouring in about this, yet you do nothing, You havent even stickied the first comment, lol.

Great Video-Thank you👌

[@Mechanic-lee]

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.

[@StiveStive-p1b]

Super video merci

[@paulovieira1351]

Thank you 🙏 I will be do in my t5

[@autodocuk]

We hope our videos helped you.

[@HeavyDmechanical]

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.

[@seppoahola5254]

Great 👍

[@wyndhamwhitfield1970]

Thank you

[@alexey9900]

Good 👍👍👍

[@paulrogers1536]

Thanks

[@martinriley2880]

How do you bleed the air out then

[@autodocuk]

You can find this information in the technical documentation for vehicle repair.

[@urimcocaj2930]

Thanks man

[@Newnameinheaven]

Perfect.

[@autodocuk]

Thanks for your positive comment! Stay with us!

[@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. AUTODOC

[@theyorkshireman3906]

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 🤔

[@AndrewKeil-t1z]

Thanks. Started perfect

[@FedupwiththeBS]

👏🏻👍🏻

[@Keith-w8p]

No mention of bleeding the system

[@autodocuk]

[@erik.landen]

In a video from 2017 you guys admit in the comments that the filter needs to be pre filled. This one kzbin.info/www/bejne/n52XhIGJhsx4pbc 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

[@freeazz911]

Thanks
