Fuel Filter query

[mm707]

Hi,

How often should you change the fuel filter on a 2.0 170 tdi ?

Also - is it a fairly easy diy job - do I just undo the hoses and clip onto a new filter ?

Thanks

It's every 40k according to Audi

As above.... 40k according to Audi.... But I tend to change every 20k; (think 40k is too long)

Changing is very easy..... as you stated, unclip hoses etc.... just remember to change o ring (should be in the box the filter comes in) on the plastic insert "thingy"
