Audi Q5 TDI Fuel Filter Change How To 

Thanks for letting me realize that although easy, I’m not equipped or experienced so my tech will get paid to do this one😹🏁

Thank you very much for the tutorial !!

Excellent video. How often should the fuel filter be changed?

What size the clamps are, if need the new ones.

Its the same Fuel Quality whenn you chance the fuel filter?

My q5 has an issue where on a random morning it just wont restart. could the fuel filter be letting in air? because after i use vcds to run the fuel pump it does start back up.

Glad I found you! '14 Q5 TDI with 150k miles. Replacing the fuel pump now (and have the VDCS). Replaced the upper control arms last night and will tackle the lowers next week. Any chance you know if there is adequate clearance to replace the accessory belt w/o having to remove the electric fans or other parts for clearance? Thanks

I didn't see you pinch the fuel line from the tank to stop the flow while the fuel filter is disconnected. Is this not necessary?

Cory, great video. Question? I don't have the access to a VCDS, I have read that I can prime the system by toggling the start button 3 or 4 times without actually starting the engine. Thoughts?

Can you start car without priming pump? I don’t have that diagnostic tool you have.. Ty nice video

Great video...please consider wearing eye protection Corey!

Wont the fuel system prime when you switch the ignition on? (without starting the engine) ?

You don't need a computer to prime the tank. It's a self priming system. Just switch the ignition on for a couple of minutes whilst you do the covers up, and then start the engine.

Great video… Question… do I have to use the computer to prime the fuel filter? Could I just do the replacement and just turn on the car normally like the old cars? If not could you tell me why? Thank you very much

would pre-filling the new filter with fuel suffice and avoid the need for VCDS?
