Tdi Fuel Filter Change. For the gasoline types the filter is located near the rear wheel on the right side. Joined Mar 17 2012 19 Posts.
This procedure is common to most Volkswagen Audi SEAT and SKODA 20l TDI. All fuel filters linked from here are made by Mann or Meyle so dont worry about buying a non genuine. But this system requires excellent quality fuel for both economy and longevity.
The CR Common Rail TDI engines should not be operated without fuel which may be an issue after repairs such as fuel injector and fuel filter replacement.
Replacing the Fuel Filter is part of Part of VW TDI 20K maintenance. Changed the fuel filter on my 2010 T2 at 65k miles - by the looks of what came out this has never been changed. T2 30 TDI Fuel Filter Change - success. The electric fuel pump located in the fuel tank or externally mounted in-line can be operated via basic settings to fill the system.
