Instructions for Replacing the Diesel Filter

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Diesel fuel filter

Replacing the diesel filter is very simple: disconnect the pipes connected to it by first removing the safety clip from the two pipes connected to the plastic connector; then remove the connector without disconnecting the pipes and slide off the clamps of the other two pipes to remove them; at this point, loosen the fixing pin of the support clamp of the filter, remove the old filter and insert the new one, securing it to the support clamp; finally, reconnect the pipes, securing both the elastic clamps and the connector with the corresponding clip; before starting the engine, turn the ignition on two or three times to help fill the filter.
