ECS Tuning: How to change the fuel filter on an Audi B6 A4 1.8T.

[@timerickson1577]

ALL how-to videos need to be created like this! Excellent and thank you!!

[@amg8868]

Thanks mate... changed my fuel filter after watching your video in just 15 minutes! Saved a fortune too!

[@wv2000gxe]

I did this with the car on the ground, not jacked up. Took me 5mins. Hardest part was the stupid plastic clip. Very helpful video!

[@TeRroRSqUaD20]

This video helped me out a lot , I was able to replace the fuel filter and now that annoying noise went away , car is running smoothly now .

[@gatogrow1175]

Just finished replacing mine 👍🏻 thanks for the help! Having the cabriolet I had to remove a lot more than a plastic cover. The fuel spilling was pretty stressful and dangerous make sure to take a few breaks for fresh air 👍🏻

[@atheone1595]

Going to attempt this one the cabriolet just bought. Stressing though i dont think it was ever changed and might need new connectors, Any advise would be great

[@tope.sosanya]

Seriously- echoing the other positive comments- this was a very well done video. Love the explanations, pace, and attention to detail. thank you so much.

[@xXmoemoneyXx]

My fuel filter comes in tmrw. Hopefully all goes well with the install, but thanks to this video. I have a way better understanding on how to install it.

[@robertoparra9969]

Very good production values and amazing and easy to follow instructions. Makes me want to start working on my A4.

[@REAPERCAW]

Brilliant video. Well done. The example of how, a how to video should be made.

[@irahamza1916]

I realize it is kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online ?

[@neilmoshe7471]

@Ira Hamza Try FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)

[@bryantbarrett2657]

@Neil Moshe Definitely, have been using Flixzone for months myself :D

[@irahamza1916]

@Neil Moshe thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it !

[@neilmoshe7471]

@Ira Hamza You are welcome :)

[@YourHumblNarrator]

You guys have saved my family hundreds of dollars. Your videos are very informative. I will be buying the next few parts I need from your website and possibly even more, thank you.

[@ecstuning]

Glad we could help! Thanks for the feedback and support.

[@JohnDoan-iu7sm]

I have replaced fuel filters before and essentially I was just researching location. But that has to be the most idiot proof video to date. Thank you very much

[@richardprice4839]

Extra tips: 1. some auto parts dealers are calling this the fuel pressure regulator (make sure it has 4 connections) they gave me one with 3. 2. to decrease amount of fuel from lines you can open the gas tank cap on your car to relieve some pressure. 3. another optional step is to remove the fuse to your fuel pump, run the car, and let it die on its own. this will draw more fuel from the system great vid though

[@marknielsen470]

Nice video, I was able to get the job done in my driveway without jacking up the car

[@patrickskow3031]

Very helpful review before I change mine. Filled with fuel from local store, misfires now think this may be the problem. Multiple misfires on the diagnostic

[@FanaticFunGuy]

Excellent video...Thanks! (I hope you did one this good on the Fuel Pump replacement!)

[@trumpetmaris]

Hey @ECSTuning there should be a warning about the high pressure in the fuel lines. When I removed the back connector, outer fitting first, I got a face full of gas sprayed at me. I expected some fuel to come out and had my catch basin ready, but this was tons of pressure

[@austindean435]

This guy is thorough - thanks for the video!

[@MainelyCannabis]

GREAT video guys, how did this get dislikes?! You should make another video just of the fuel filter cut open, and name it "Audi lifetime filter exposed after 100k miles". That's some great hidden info/examples in there. Love the removal/install technique too. Cheers!

[@abeibrahim5846]

all things considered, He would have to take the same filter showing its PN and cut it in the video and show it; otherwise, it's not an authentic claim.

[@benic8571]

Ordered from ECS and replaced 10-15 min , Great Video .

[@kudakwashemavunga3112]

Best explanation 🙏🏾

[@yatox8]

Took me a while to figure out dem damn clips. I was squeezin the shit out of them then pulling. Just had to push in press the little band with my thumbnail and pull :p still a little tricky

[@abeibrahim5846]

Great video, Thanks - I wish you would have mentioned the age of the filter (how many miles used).

[@benic8571]

what I did , before starting I turned the ignition a few times on and off for the Fuel Pump to push some fuel in the lines and the filter.

[@iconoclast281]

Hey guys, thanks for the video. How do you relieve excess pressure in the fuel line? Is that a necessary step?

[@Cirbonukleon]

Correct job! Thanks Folks! 30 minutes befor I have bin changed the F filter at my A3 2.0 T Fsi. All the same , but You dont need a 25 Torx just a + Screwdriver

[@AKZMOXY]

Great vid it was really helpful! Thanks for sharing!

[@Cambo81]

Very helpfull video thank you for nice and easy explanation .

[@jaceyschlosser7989]

Very helpful video. Thank you!!

[@agentcoolioso]

Bought a pair of push pin pliers 30degrees ($10) at Harbor Freight after hours of fighting to get a connector off! Pliers took 2 minutes- strongly suggest~ saving you from broken connectors. This is a great video and easy to view all of the connectors! My son and I did this and it was the original filter from 10 years ago! Car started up and ran for 2 days then it wouldn't start again at my son's school, had it towed home. I am a mom doing this, not a guy. Any ideas why it would run for 2 days and now it sounds like the same issue when you turn the key. 2005 Audi Quattro (The car was not starting prior to replacing filter.)

[@charlesdavid5137]

+gracefralick Possible fuel pump issue. Need to do some diagnostic testing to be sure. The pump is not cheap, I would recommend testing it in accordance with Audi procedures first.

[@Yanneek_]

I have an A4 Quattro Cabrio 3.0 that cut off while I was driving. It now is still not starting. Im pretty sure it has something to do with the fuel filter or pump. My question is what would your suggestion be on getting replaced first? The filter or the pump?

[@Maxton720]

amazing video. is it the same on 2002 audi a6 c5 1.8T?

[@trumpetmaris]

Amazing work on this video thanks much

[@hugosantos7271]

thank you, very educative information.

[@geep4m3]

Why dont u guys make one about the a4 b5 with the banjo bolts?

[@sergiuBC]

Great video! Thanks a bunch!

[@zosojr]

How many miles were on the filter you removed?

[@isaiahpolobro]

Advance auto is showing this as a fuel pressure regulator. They said the fuel filter is a non serviceable item in the tank. At least that is for my 2009 A4 Quattro CAEB.

[@half_r_mk5]

Is this the same procedure for the 2.0T FSI BPY engine? I may need to do this soon. thanks!

[@bmejia837]

I removed the rear cables at the same time and not sure if I connected at the corresponding hole on the filter. Does it matter where they connect to? As long its a rear cable and connects to either one on the back?

[@PASKI502]

Tnx dude this this video was helpful :)

[@stigarildhansen7931]

Is the fuelfilter located at the same spot on the Audi A4 [8E2, B6] 1.6 petrol engine?

[@ArcolaBridge]

How do I know what filter I need for my B6 A4? There are 3 different ones for this model year.

[@dutch1047]

Hi, thanks for good explanation, i have a problem disconnecting the pressure tube while changing filter on A6 C6, it does not want to come out, can somebody give any idea?

[@piotrk9588]

I have a 2005 usp b6 quattro, which I have to buy a filter with the letter J or D, thanks for the reply

[@bmejia837]

Hey ECS I changed the filter on audi S4 and mileage is worse than before. Is it possible that it can be worse due to not connecting the lines to the right holes.

[@Rennirt420]

Really good video

[@jordanmccarley629]

I drive an audi b7 a4 codes P0089 fuel pressure regulator performance 1, no start at all. I replaced the regulator, car starts and then dies. Replaced high pressure sensor and high pressure fuel pump, still no start. Guessing its the in tank fuel pump?

[@nac5000]

I changed my filter just minutes ago I tought the lines were just attached by pressure but they have CLIPS! that you need to push to release the filter, I almost destroyed the connectors until I noticed this -_-

[@edg6779]

My A4 B6 only has 3 hoses. Can I still use a 4 hose filter or not?

[@jasonhamilton1727]

What’s the purpose of removing the gas cap?

[@Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the video, thumbs up.

[@timtimtim89]

Did you de-pressurize the fuel lines first, if so, how?

[@joe83anania]

How often should the fuel filter be replaced?

[@rapomatic123]

ECSTuningMedia!! i have a 2003 audi a4 cabriolet and i cannot find the fuel pressure regulator. help

[@sacsicc916]

Appreciate it

[@danniiliasoff2732]

Why does the filter have a breather Hose? Is there not a breather Hose in the Tank?

[@alimjafari5624]

Very nice. Thanks

[@1970borntorun]

I have an off-topic question. I am considering a 2004 1.8t, and was wondering how to eliminate/mitigate how the engine revs fall slowly between shifts? Is it due to a heavy flywheel for some odd, emissions compliance issue, or would a new software chip make a difference? Thanks for all replies! :)

[@1970borntorun]

Thank you! Can you tell me if there's any advantage to the flywheel being so heavy ??

[@AngelRodriguez-dn4yc]

I got a code on my 2008 Audi A4 B7 base "P2293" Fuel pressure regulator 2 performance I was wondering if is the same procedure for my b7 The regulator looks just the same bt mine onle have 3 plugs and no 5 Please let me knw and much thanks in advance

[@gabrielhedstrom1215]

Does anyone know the length/thread on the T25 screw? might have to replace mine...

[@progmanmike]

Does a bad fuel filter cause the car to judder sporadically? Or is it more likely the fuel pump?

[@ecstuning]

There are many reasons that a car could be having surging and rough power. A fuel filter is a good place to start if it hasn't been changed within the recommended interval.

[@ChipOnMyShoulder100]

are these the same steps for a 2001 S4 B5

[@thatoandyseth8879]

Where is the fuel fuse in the right hand a4 1.8t b6? Would it be advisable to remove it to clear gas in the fuel line before replacing the fuel filter?

[@jamesmccue6945]

you want to depressurize the fuel line. pull the fuse in the D/S door side panel its a 20AMP 3rd up on front side (IIRC #28). Check your diagram in the cover plate for fuel pump. Then you want to release pressure in fuel rail. there's a type of black cap on the firewall side of fuel rail. remove the cap (dont drop it) and use a small screw driver to gently push in (1/8 inch)the stopper in the rail to release pressure. Put the cap back on the fuel rail (before you lose it). Then you can try start the car -but it shouldnt start as you have no fuel pump engaged and release the fuel rail pressure.

[@grisu666]

gut erklärt,Danke

[@TheHoustonHustler]

is this fuel filter also known as the fuel pressure regulator? because it looks identical

[@TheHoustonHustler]

***** thank you guys!! You are correct. Thanks to your video I was able to safely and precisely replace my fuel filter. Ty once again you guys are pros.

[@utuber200985]

A more accurate answer is: on B6 platform models, the fuel regulator is inside the fuel filter, not on the fuel rails; that's why is very important to get the exact replacement fuel filter code. The B5 for example, have external fuel regulator and it's located in the fuel rail, behind the engine...

[@bmejia837]

Does video apply also to audi b6 s4

[@poli45]

after how many miles was that?

[@kaddymorgan1625]

hi, I have a problem to connect the hose, i forgot where it go. could you please tell me where any hose going to?

[@ProVision3187]

hose go in fuel filter

[@angelsanchezmkiv]

Watch the video and look lol

[@lapto2000]

NICE JOB

[@brakeitbuilditrepeat850]

My car go's great to 4000 rpms and it falls on its face replacing this might fix it?

[@luigii6313]

toyota1984 you check the codes yet?

[@shaklob]

I got a wrong filter when i ordered it seem it fits only quatro i have 1,8t a4 2003 with four connections for the filter.. the filter i got has 3. Can i still use it or will it be really wrong with one host disconected?

[@trumpetmaris]

Hell no! they tried to give me the wrong part too! even though they cross referenced it with the year and model.

[@bmejia837]

Thank you

[@chrisrodriguez8305]

Is this procedure the same as the B6 S4 ? TIA

[@ecstuning]

The procedure should be very similar for the B6 S4.

[@benignojimenez4488]

hello im having a problem with my a4 2002 1.8t, I replaced the fuel filter and also the fuel pump and the car still stalling after 15min of car is running. and also I get a weird noise coming from fuel filter do you know what could be the problem?

[@LuqmanKhan-ug6ei]

what was the problem?

[@vazquezwilfredo]

thanks

[@chavenyenketswamy1498]

That looks quite dangerous with leaking fuel.

[@GTRARMY]

Not sure why dislikes.

[@fedleyclarke1400]

Did anyone’s car didn’t start after they changed it ?

[@jasonhamilton1727]

Mine didn’t having issues

[@fapper_dapper]

yeah... just attempted this job. broke every single fuel line fitting on the filter. I now have a new fuel line going through my rear floor because 'german engineering'.

i did the whole process very easy by the way thanks for the advice on how to remove the plugs that helps alot...

[@damnitdanielson]

+Luis Rodriguez did the new fuel filter get rid of the problem?

[@AngelRodriguez-dn4yc]

No at all it kind of made it better tho... Bt i find out my car went into limp mode... If u dont knw what that means... That means a huge pain in the ass... Is almost imposible to diagnose a limp mode... And theres no way knw to reset it... My car runs great as longest i dont step on it U knw i dont go over 3rpm bt if i step a bit too hard in it My car start acting like it had bad gas Or is no getting enoght gas And my tranny wont shit and everything and i mean everything start shaking

[@jag7450]

@@damnitdanielson Hi I am getting the same code on my Audi A4 and was wondering if replacing the fuel filter fixed your limp mode problem?
