How To VW 2.0tdi Fuel Filter Replacement B6 B7 B8

this vehicle is a VW Passat B8 2.0 TDI
procedure is the same on most diesel VW fuel filter replacement like the
VW golf
VW Passat
VW Tiguan
VW Touran
VW Sharan
etc
some 1.6 TDI
filling the filter with fuel before starting the car helps with starting the vehicle without priming

when I changed the fuel filter for the first time, I was scared because the original filter was smaller than the one I was sold. I deliberately looked for a video where someone walked the same way as me. That reassured me somewhat.Thank for your video!

Which is the return..is it the middle one?

[@TheBurgosvm]

Does it apply for VW Passat 2016 1.8T? I cannot find the filter on the market.

[@kmtb2011]

how often does the fuel filter needs to be changed?

[@ORileysAutos]

Usually 20,000 miles or 2 years

Good job 👍

Never do it this way. You will damage your system. The filter should be bled in wia vcds in order to prevent contamination. The fuel he poured was not filtered and it can cross contaminat the common rail system with particles.
