Renewing fuel supply filter
Important
If you want to renew the fuel
supply filter yourself, then please
be sure to observe the following
points:
Please make sure that no
diesel fuel gets onto the coolant
hoses. Clean hoses immediately
if necessary.
Wear eye protection.
If your hands
contact with diesel fuel, they
must be washed
afterwards.
The used fuel supply filter
must be stored in a safe place out
of reach of children until it is
properly disposed of.
Observe the safety precautions
beginning on page
performing out any work on the
engine or
compartment.

in the engine
Disconnect the connector 1 on the cable
below the fuel supply filter.
Screw out the old fuel supply filter 2 and
clean the sealing surface of the bracket.
Moisten the rubber ring of the new filter
with diesel fuel.

Fill the fuel supply filter with clean diesel
fuel. This enables the engine to be started
more quickly.
1
Screw in the filter and tighten it hand-
tight.
Connect the connector 1 on the cable
below the fuel filter.
Note
After renewing the filter element, it is not
necessary to bleed the fuel system.
Turn the ignition key to position 2 (ON) -
see page 16 - and leave it in this position for
approx. 1 minute. This causes the electrical
fuel pump to operate and the fuel system is
filled with diesel.
Start the engine and conduct a visual in-
spection of the fuel system for leaks.
Diesel fuel must never get into
waterways, the sewer system or
the ground.
Due to the disposal problem, it is
best to have the filter change carried
out by a VW Marine Service Partner.
