VW Golf 7 how to change fuel filter 100% detailed (w/o VCDS-VAG too)

[@SteveRoss-k3z]

Thanks for another great VW Golf vid. It's obvious to me that you're using clean fresh diesel to top up before closing the lid. If you do this there is virtually no air in the system. I changed mine tonight using your method and it started immediately and runs fine. Thanks again.

[@mattia124]

one little suggestion,don't put diesel fluid in the central hole,in fact that hole is for clean fuel,put the fuel from the outside holes of the filter,in this way you don't allow to dirty fuel to go directly in high pressure pump.

[@ahmetasi1117]

what is your suggestion

@@ahmetasi1117 If you are manually priming the filter as in your video, you should remove the yellow plug AFTER priming. You did it before and this may end up in dirt on the wrong side of the filter.

You must activate the diesel pump with VCDS before starting the engine and thus fill the filter. So bleed the system ... Du musst vor dem Motorstart mit VCDS die Dieselpumpe aktivieren und somit den Filter befüllen . Also das System entlüften...

[@ahmedmasafree1389]

Kannst auch selber ohne es tun

[@bunyaminceylan9507]

Muss man das wirklich?

[@mr.t2585]

Prime the fuel filter with VCDS. Starting high pressure fuel pump on dry even 2 seconds may end with small metal particles in injectors and pump(1500eur ++). This pump is prone to failure at this stage. So please people.. do not follow this method there is official VW method for changing fuel filter on this car. I'm sure you can find it on youtube.

[@ptrsqionut]

Remove the center cap only after you put the diesel , is not good for the injectors to get unfiltered diesel, in rest good job.

Hello, just recieved my fuel filter replacement yesterday from the brand Mahle but I have some doubts. Inside de box came the bare filter, not inside a plastic bag or anything,also I saw they typically come with a cap on the upper hole but this one came without it plus it has very small particles like a little bit of dust that comes off when you rub it, It's the first time I'm doing this replacement so I don't know if this is normal. I'd be glad to know what you think guys.

Zdravím, skvělé video, jen se zeptám, objednal jsem pro Golf 7 Hatchback 1.6 TDI filtr značek MANN-FILTER ale má i vývod pro ventil vzduchu nebo vody či co to je, ale můj golf ho nemá, musím filtr vrátit nebo můžu ten vývod laser-bladem odstřihnout - použít tento? Ve specifikacich prodejce bylo řečeno že pasovat bude, ale ten vývod přesahuje vnější hranu a do me nádrže by se nevešel s tím vyvodem, nicméně to vypadá že kdyby se mi ho bezpečně podařilo uriznout tak ničemu vadit nebude. Ale teď se dívám že se mírně liší i v milimetrech obvodu vnějšího. Je to model PU 8014. Předem díky

[@Funky_Geek]

Looks like this was done in the wrong order. Change Filter > use VCDS to do fuel pump cycle > then start. I know someone who cause numerous high pressure fuel pump issues by not doing the VCDS bit.

[@ianpurcell7266]

1500euro for a hpfp.It may fail it may not.Modern cars are not serviced the same as old cars from say 10years ago.To be honest the fuel filter should be changed in a clean room.

Yes if you want to do it by the book and no if you simply have no other choice and it's an absolute last resort.

I just made sure I had a old towel to collect overspill and made sure there was no air space when I replaced the top of the filter housing ( and did not overtighten ) I did not have a torque wrench , but used my cordless clutch and gripped it to test the approx torque at the various setting at which it slipped , then used that to get an even , but minimal torque.

[@radiator1979]

How often it is adviced to change fuel filter in 1.6 tdi?

[@franktechmaniac7488]

I did the first change @ 160k km (100k miles). It was still not overly dirty. I think the necessity depends on how dirty the tanks at your fuel stations are. On the bottom of the outer pot I found small rust particles that may come from the tanks at the stations.

[@harrygilbert3738]

@@franktechmaniac7488 personally I would change it every year - for the sake of spending €25, and it takes less than 10 mins (I appreciate this video, but the process seen here is overkill) the whole service for this car if done yourself using MANN filters and OE Castrol oil is about €120, including the diesel filter.

isnt there meant to be a VW torque setting and sequence to tightening the bolts?

[@lw1073]

Yes. If you start form the first bolt he mounted and count counter-clock wise, the correct order would be 5-2-4-1-3, which his first bolt should be the last one. And by using a straigt screwdriver, he probably did not reach the required 5Nm torque. The tighthen order and torque is printed at the inner side of Mann filter box. He just didn't read.

[@Revaldi]

Never change the fuel filter like this because you could damage the high-pressure pump! You must bleed the fuel system using an OBD scanner or VCDS! The middle hole in the new filter has a cap on it, and the cleaned diesel comes into the engine from there.

Did the siphoned out fuel get poured back in to the filter? .... that's a no in my book. Don't fill through the center filter hole. That defeats the filter's purpose, especially if the fuel has been siphoned out!

Bei dieser Prozedur bleibt zu viel Luft im System, das merkt man auch am schlechten Start. Bei einem ordentlich entlüfteten System würde das Fahrzeug sofort starten. Luft im System ist Gift für die Hochdruckpumpe. Einen Schaden an der Hochdruckpumpe merkt man nicht sofort, das Problem tritt deutlich später auf. Eine kaputte Hochdruckpumpe kostet viel Geld und kann die Injektoren mit unbrauchbar machen. Sucht euch einen bekannten mit Diagnosegerät und lasst das Fahrzeug erst sauber entlüften, bevor ihr den Motor startet. Nur weil das Fahrzeug läuft, heißt das nicht, dass es auch gut war.
