Did mine yesterday with the push button start cycling method on a 15 Golf TDI. Didn't hear the pump running but did the process about 20 times, including driver door openings and closings since I had heard the pump run before when entering the car. The first crack it ran for about 3 seconds and then died. On second crank it didn't start. I began to get concerned and called a VW specialist nearby inquiring how much it would cost to get air out of the fuel system, but he recommended trying another time. On the third attempt it cranked right up. TLDR thought I was about to have a $500 filter change but it all worked out. Thanks for the vid! (I was also outdoors on a slight incline, don't know if that would make a difference.)

This is a very helpful video. I just changed the fuel filter in my 2014 Sportwagen TDI, and did not spill more than a few drops of fuel. The Mann PU936 filter came with an o-ring, and that too was an easy swap out. As you suggested I cycled the ignition key a few times, waiting perhaps 5 minutes each time, and the engine started up cleanly on the first flick of the key, indicating a full injection pump.

Man, doing fuel filters on a VW diesel is very different than the Powerstroke trucks I'm used to. They have 2 (ever since 2003 with the introduction of the 6.0l) and it's a much more involved job and it's supposed to be done every 12k-15k. Depends on the time of year and how much you drive, and the way you treat your truck. But for the fuel bleeding, I cycle the key 10 times, with an interval of letting the key stay on for 30 seconds and then re-cycling it. Interesting to see how it's done on VWs, though. Seems like it's a bit easier and less time consuming. That's probably the only time I'll ever say that working on a VW is easier and less time consuming than working on a Ford.

Have done two Fuel Filter changes so far in our 15 Golf TDI, didn't know about the priming method with VCDS or OBDEleven until just after the last change. What I've done is clean out the fuel filter housing by sucking the fuel out and wiping down with a lint free rag, then after I place in the new fuel filter, I fill the housing with fresh diesel slowly so the fuel enters from the outside of the filter, insert the pickup for the HPFP in the hole, tighten down, then a couple key cycles. I'm sure there is a tiny amount of air still in the system this way, but the starter literally cranks for only half a second more before it fires up, the difference in start of normal vs after a filter change is *turn key* *chug* *fire* vs *turn key* *chug* *chug *fire*. Our local VW dealer quoted $180 to change the fuel filter.

I changed diesel fuel filter on my MK3 Jetta maybe a week ago ;) and this was fun to watch, BUT, i have a huge question floating around. Yes, on some other cars that i have worked, which have common-rail injection cycling the key 2-3,.. 5 times does the job, however i've heard that on MK7 TDIs, even MK6s, pumps won't start until you actually start the engine, which kinda leaves you screwed. Is that true? I never worked on any MK6 or 7 TDI so i am curious about it. I mean i would try to get it done like i do on my MK3, fill the filter (well, filter housing in this case) all the way, put it back and try to start the engine. Works every time, it starts like nothing ever happened and it runs fine, no hiccups or anything. I leave it idling for few minutes just to be sure, and i rev it up few times and that's it. Takes around 30 minutes.

I also have mk6 golf 1.6 tdi and becouse of fuel filter I bought Obdeleven. Unfortunatley even that didn't help. When you start the fuel pump in the tank it cycles fuel only betwen tank and fuel filter. Fuel line that goes from filter to HPFP drains the fuel when you lift the cover of the filter and than youre stuck with air pocket in the line. Than you cycle the pump in the tank which doesn't prime the fuel line leading to the HPFP. Than you start the car, HPFP air locks and car doesn't start. (starts for a second or two, than dies and cant start again) I since found out that when you prime the fuel system with obd computer first you cycle the pump about two times than on the third cycle start the prime pump and while pump running disconnect fuel line leading from filter to the HPFP at the HPFP (but only slightly so the air can escape out, becouse emmediatley after that the fuel will rush out and spray everything!). Put some rags around the fuel line, and than quickly reattach the line and secure it with clamp. Stop the tank pump or leave it until cycle stops. Than start the car. Works every time. I serviced bunch of the VW diesel engines, but only had to do this on mk 6 golf 1.6 tdi.

Any chance you’d do some how-to on an Audi, say an S5 with the supercharger?

That would be awesome. I haven't looked too much into those engines beyond my training classes

If I remember correctly, the fuel filter is inside the fuel pump assembly in the tank. The V6 supercharged S5 was quite new when I quit, so I might be wrong.

If you love your car it’s worth changing your fuel filter as often as you do your oil... injection systems are expensive and sensitive systems. Also the fuel going in to your car is not as clean as it should be

Good video. fuel filter design is clumsy and looks crammed in, I've dealt with diesel fuel filters on MBs, and older VWs that simply screwed on, what utility does this bring to the user? Not as bad as the piece of krap filter on my old chevy suburban diesel, every 5k miles it failed, typical GM design.

Utilities to the user is one of the lowest concerns with this type of thing. Lol they don’t be caring
