Easiest fuel filter change ever
how to change a fuel filter of a car
When the service parts arrived for this 2009 Audi A6 2.0 TDI, we noted that the fuel filter was a long, slim unit that is normally fitted along the fuel line under the vehicle, either near to the fuel tank or fuel pump.
This is not the case with the A6 diesel. The fuel pump is fitted underneath, near to the engine bay and protected by a plastic undertray, running in line with the front-to-rear fuel lines.
The filter is located under the bonnet and is one of the easiest diesel fuel filters to change – the connecting pipes have spring clips and the filter itself is held in place by the securing bracket using one 10mm nut.
With the ignition off, the filter is easily swapped over and, once in place, it requires no bleeding.
Turning on the ignition for a couple of seconds before attempting to start the engine is sufficient to charge the system with fuel.
