how to change a diesel fuel filter in a 2007 vw passat?

May 18, 2010 by Sean | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs


I recommend buying an http://www.haynes.com repair manual for your car. Diesel fuel filter replacement is trickier than gasoline fuel filters sometimes because you need to prime the fuel lines better to start the engine. Always fill the new filter canister
