Fair play Max, honest mistakes happen and you are very genuine in showing it on camera.
great video for anyone wanting to do this job, well done.
Yeah, I couldn't believe it reviewing the footage. I would have sworn I had it fitted correctly. You never stop learning!
hey max, i love your channel so much, every video is so informative and happy! Please keepp uploading. really love your content a lot
Thanks for your kind words 👍😊
Great video, just what I needed! Thank you Max!
You are welcome - glad it helped! 😉
Thanks mate. Just got our golf back from the mechanic and started leaking, had a fuel filter replaced. We live in the bush, so the closet mechanic who wants to look at it is 200km away, will jack it up this arvo and have a geez. I know what i need to be looking for now. Bloody legend.
Hey Steven,
You must be frustrated. I understand that. Mistakes can be made, but it is super important to check, double check and triple check the work before handing it back to the customer.
I hope you can get the leak sorted.
Thanks for sharing your comment. 😉
U r great mr
Thank you. I hope you find other videos on the channel that help as well.
Thank you 😊
You are welcome! 😉
Thank you
You're welcome! I hope the video was helpful 😊
Gonna do this to the 1.4 TSI twincharged. Thanks
Hope the video helps 👍
Great video and instructions. What symptoms will show up for a faulty fuel filter?
If you have a blocked filter, you would experience lack of power, particularly at higher revs and under acceleration.
Do you think I need to depressurize the fuel system before doing this? I've seen other guides where they remove the fuse for the fuel pump, run the car until it stalls, and then perform the service.
If you didn't do that ahead of time, then how long did you let the car sit without running before you changed the filter?
If you are disconnecting the fuel pump, technically you should do as you suggested - remove the fuse or relay & run until it stalls, but realistically for us in the trade, the pressure is low at the pump & so if you are careful, the worst that will happen will be a quick squirt of fuel. But if course, it's up to you to make that decision.
If you remove the first two connectors with the easy accessible disconnection clips, then remove the filter clamp to gain easy access to the last connector clip as it's hanging down the clip is accessible
Thanks Garry, good idea 😁
Hi Max , I’ve got the 2012 twin charged 1.4 TSI Tiguan, where is the fuel filter on mine ?
Don’t think mine has been changed for a while
Cheers
According to the Ryco website, these seem to be non-replaceable. Great idea! NOT!
So basically it’s in the tank ?? Do I have to change the complete pump
@@sox666nitro6 I assume they must have a filter of some description, but they aren't listed as separate to the pump
Hi Max 1.4 tsi owner here!. What kind of service do you recomend for the 50,000k. Should I change the spark plugs?
Hey Pepe,
What year is your car? Auto or manual transmission?
@@MiracleMAX Im from Mexico so maybe its a little diferent from yours. Its a golf VII 2017 style. it has a 1.4 TSI (ACT) and a DSG gearbox
@@pepeelpollo3 It looks like the spark plugs and external fuel filter are done at 60,000. For the 50,000, I suggest a general service and then at the 60 carry out a full service including the spark plugs and external fuel filter if fitted
Plugs every 60K, auto trans the same. Oil, oil filter, power steering fluid. All filters. Rotate tyres. Brake fluid flush.
@@BenState Do you have an owners service/maintenance book in your glovebox? That should give you all the details you need as well.
human error it happens . Always over looked on a petrol car customer of mine had a new fuel pump fitted and did not solve the problem simply fuel pressure check and diagnosed it correctly as a blocked fuel filter in the tank.
I think a lot of low pressure issues are overlooked with the high pressure CRD & GDI engines we have. We forget that the low pressure is just as important as the high pressure.
But despite me triple checking the connection, I have learned that I now have to quadruple check (that shouldn't be hard bordering on OCD.....) in the future.
But I guess we are all just human 😁
Thanks for your comments Ian.
