How to install an MK4 Fuel Filter Golf/Jetta/GTI/GLI DIY S4EP22

[@johnmazurek4684]

Just purchased a mk4, been watching the shit out of your channel just to get familiarized. Got to say that full filter is damn massive,

[@PincheALsGarage]

Yup

[@mikeevans7094]

Ha forgoten fuel filter i bought one like 18 month ago unfortunatly its upstairs in the wardrobe FORGOTTEN lol

[@PincheALsGarage]

[@mikeevans7094]

Dude love the Mickey sheet (in the garage)!! Have those from childhood!

[@PincheALsGarage]

Yeah they are 20 + years old...lol

[@dg5240]

Love the videos. Have a mkiv gti with 144k trying to keep it healthy!

[@anhnambinhtrungtay7330]

As a safety measure, you should have pulled out the 15 Amp fuel pump fuse or disconnect the battery.

[@PincheALsGarage]

Khai Bui no its not needed. Just as long you dont open any doors or the hood. This will prime the pump.

[@hanksmith4065]

Yeah.-... bull twinky

[@K03sport]

Have had my fuel filter for three years, possibly four...but in my defense the car just hit 118k...not too shabby for an '04 GTI...breaking the hose clips and clamp are what have me putting this project off...

[@PincheALsGarage]

K03sport its hard to break the clips. Just need to be patient with it.

Do you have a Transmission oil change video for a 1.8? I have an 03 jetta 1.8 and a 2001 Passat wagon 1.8 both 5 speed... any lead in the right direction would be awesome! Love the vids! Keep em coming! !

[@PincheALsGarage]

Brittany B i am actually making that video today. Should be up later tonight

[@brittany6229]

Fantastic!!! Thanks again for all the effort you put in making these vids!!

I have a mk4 1.8t gti I have a new fuel filter and I've had a look at mine and I don't seem to have the same connection as you with the little push in button/clip, some of them do under there but not the ones connected to the fuel filter. I'm worried about breaking or splitting the lines trying to take them off the filter. They look exactly the same, just not with any button to press to release them. Have you come across these before and how do I take them off without breaking?

[@Mrfurballs]

How did you end up getting the fuel filter off ???

[@Aedrothica]

@@Mrfurballs I enged up getting it done at a garage when I had some other bits done.

[@1slow5ooh]

Nice video bro

[@PincheALsGarage]

thanks man

[@emotionalintelligence776]

20-minute video, let's see 5 min job, 10 minutes to reiterate to the people who can hear but can't see, and another 5 min of merch advertisement. So basically a 30-minute job for us mere mortals, Lol.

[@PincheALsGarage]

Hey man I do my best i dont have sponsors I just love what I do

[@emotionalintelligence776]

@@PincheALsGarage And for that sir you forever have our undying gratitude!

[@PincheALsGarage]

@@emotionalintelligence776 Awww Thanks Man! That really matters a ton to me. I really appreciate the kind words.

[@adolg4049]

I think my mk4 tdi doesnt have that filter there but i have next of injection pump

[@PincheALsGarage]

That is correct

[@matthewriley346]

Why don't you depressurize the system by taking it the fuel pump relay and staying the car until it stalls. That way you won't make any mess

[@PincheALsGarage]

Matthew Riley even if you depressure the system there will always be fuel. All the fuel that came out was from the filter anyways

[@eb121209]

Matthew Riley depressurization the system doesn’t magically remove all the fuel that’s stored in the filter.

[@hollow34]

Do the hose clips go over the lip on the fuel filter end nozzles or just push on up to the lip? I had a metal filter but the hose kept slipping off. With the old plastic filter it stays on fine.

[@PincheALsGarage]

They clip in place. The factory stuff will clip in and thats it. If you have a modified one i suggest you get a fuel filter with a barb fitting for rubber hose to fit snug.

[@hollow34]

@@PincheALsGarage I managed to sort it, I took it all apart 'again' and put the hose that was hard to put on first (it needed more umph) to make it clip on.

[@meganfitzgerald4092]

Very stupid to pour gasoline into the ground.

[@PincheALsGarage]

That's not the worst stuff I have poured onto the ground. Owww man!

[@luisg1653]

Where can I get the decals? Got shirts too?
