Question 1

What precautions should be taken when disconnecting the battery and replacing the fuel filter on Volkswagen Jetta?

Accepted Answer

When the battery is unplugged, a number of systems have to be re-taught before they can be of use. Fuel system In five-cylinder engines, one should bleed the fuel system after opening the lines to avoid the damage of the catalytic converter. It has the fuel filter under the back of the car, in front of the rear right-wheel, next to the fuel tank. Even though the manufacturer does not provide a replacement interval it is recommended on the experience of having replaced it in many other cars so as to say that replacement is similar to cheap insurance and might avoid a premature breakdown. Start with defueling the system, and unplug the cable of the negative battery. Lift the vehicle and place it on jackstands. Blow out or spray compressed air around the fittings of the fuel inlet and outlet lines or spray them with brake system cleaner. It might be required to take off a plastic splash shield on some models. Unhook the fuel lines of the filter, and have rags on hand to receive or wipe up all gasoline that may spill. Unscrew the clamp screw and remove the filter, remove the retaining clip, and take out the pressure regulator in the body of the filter. Install the gasket, and O-ring of the pressure regulator, install the regulator again on the filter body and the retaining clip. Installation is the opposite of removal; the arrow of the side of the new filter should be facing the engine side of the fuel system, and should look at leaks after driving the car.

Question 2

What precautions should be taken when disconnecting the battery and replacing the fuel filter on Volkswagen Passat?

Accepted Answer

These models are fitted with an anti-theft radio then be sure that the correct activation code is used prior to removing the battery. Removing the battery may cause a problem in driveability which only needs a scan tool to fix it, and it could even trigger warning lamps on the instrument panel that may need a scan tool to switch them off. The majority of any public scan tools do not have the ability to do these tasks and this might necessitate a visit to a dealer service department or an appropriately equipped repair facility following service work. The fuel filter is found at the rear part of the vehicle in front of the right-rear wheel or next to the fuel tank. The manufacturer does not set the conditions of replacement interval, but it is recommended to replace it, depending on the experience with other vehicles because it may avoid unexpected failures. The first step is to depressurize the fuel system and then unscrew the negative cable and place it on jackstands. Clean around the fittings of the fuel inlet and outlet line with either compressed air or brake system cleaner, some will have a plastic splash shield that must be removed before cleaning. In crimp-type hose clamp-style models, which attach the fuel lines onto the filter, loosen the clamps, dismantle and discard, loosen the mounting bracket and remove the filter. Banjo fittings are both available with the filter installed in banjo fittings models, to do this, unscrew the lower banjo bolt, unscrew the clamp bolt, slide the filter out of the bracket and then unscrew the upper banjo bolt. Prepare some spare rags or a small container to receive or wipe off any gasoline which spills out of the filter. Installation is the opposite of removal and in case with banjo fittings, install new sealing washers and tighten the banjo bolts up to the given torque values, the arrow of the new filter must be towards the engine side of the fuel system and verify any leaks after driving the vehicle.
