Replace the fuel filter on Audi A3 2.0

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Diesel fuel filter

Do we want to replace the diesel filter of our Audi A3? Let's see the disassembly of all the pieces to remove the diesel filter. We lift the front hood of our car, locate the diesel filter. We disconnect all the oil circulation pipes and the electrical operating terminals. We unhook the filter from its housing: we remove the filter from inside the container and then from inside the engine compartment. We mount the filter in the specific housing and screw the clamping screws (we connect pipes and cables). We test the operation of the vehicle with the ignition and starting of the engine.
