New stuff i attended to. checked cleaned and pull apart the Warm up regulator. Was not clogged or dirty. worked fine. replaced the fuel filter, which i did notice was a little crummy. but normal.
New Bosch fuel filter: A trick I've done on other cars, is opposed to running endless wiring looms up into the rain tray, across to the ecu box (the into the cab entry point) which pop into the OEM rats nest above the pedals is find the sweet spot from the fenders into the cab.
Third filter change for me and not a trace of metal was found in the fuel filter reservoir. I plan to drive the car to approximately 75-80K depending on what I'm at in late 2018.
First time I bought a Bosch fuel filter and saw made in Israel I checked for correct threading & good seating repeatedly before I powered the pump to fill it.
Last item on my service list to change was my fuel filter. The one on there was changed recently and for a genuine one. But for peace of mind and so I know when next due I changed it anyway and used the correct jubilee clamp.
I changed the fuel filter, oops, that was a mess, but once I got all the air out of the system it's running great again.
I really didn't think changing the fuel filter in my GLI would make much difference, particular seeing as the fuel inside the old filter looked perfectly fine. But wow, after a couple days, what a difference. I'd had some slowly-worsening issues with throttle response, particularly at low speed -- starting from a stop while engaging the clutch, or accelerating at low speed in gear. The car would bog a bit and then surge, unless I modulated the clutch and gave more throttle than I really should. Those problems immediately went away after the fuel filter change. This was at 55,000 miles. I think I'm going to have to start changing the fuel filter at about 40,000.
Fuel filter is interchangeable between many VW and Audi.
I started to look at the fuel filter that I put in and noticed that people have been talking about different pressure regulators in the filters, I thought that maybe I put in the wrong one and someone else had done this before. So I changed the filter out for the latest VW OEM 6.6 Bar filter. Again this made an slight improvement
Just try putting a new fuel filter on the car totally empty, and see what happens.
