Renewing filter element
O
Switch off the engine (single filter) or
switch over to the second filter (double
filter).
O
Unscrew the 4 cover screws and take off
the cover.
O
Remove the filter cartridge.
O
Take out the filter insert by the hoop.
O
Lay in the new filter element.
O
Lay the filter cartridge on the filter
element.
O
Check the cover gasket for damage and
correct seating in the cover.
Note
Should the gasket be damaged, it must be
replaced.
O
Fit the cover with the gasket and tighten
the screws diagonally.
Note
After renewing the filter element, it is not
necessary to bleed the fuel system.
O
Turn the ignition key to position 2 (ON) -
see page 16 - and leave it in this position for
approx. 1 minute. This causes the electrical
fuel pump to operate and the fuel system is
filled with diesel.
O
Start the engine and conduct a visual
inspection of the fuel system for leaks.
Diesel fuel must never get into
waterways, the sewer system or
the ground.
Due to the disposal problem, it is
best to have the filter change carried
out by a VW Marine Service Partner.
