Hi 16vers, As I continue to troubleshoot things on my car, I will likely be replacing the fuel filter to see if it is clogged up.
Any tips on how to keep the fuel from spilling out when replacing the fuel filter? The Bentley says to clip the supply line but does not offer much more detail (as usual) I assume you guys don't empty out the fuel to replace the fuel filter - so how do you keep the fuel from spilling out? (Maybe only a little bit spills out when the car is off and it is safe to remove it when the battery is disconnected?) Would also welcome tips on how to test if the metal fuel lines are clogged up. At this point I suspect I am not getting fuel at the engine even though putting power on both the transfer pump and the main fuel pump cause them to buzz and spinup. (sorry for the stupid questions, you should expect them for a while until I learn to do my own maintenance) Thanks, Larry 91 GTI 16V _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
