ECS Tuning: How to change the fuel filter on an Audi B6 A4 1.8T.

This video shows how to install a fuel filter on an Audi B6 A4 1.8T.

With a new fuel filter, you may see an increase in fuel mileage due to clogged and dirty fuel filters making it difficult for your engine to get all the fuel it needs. Debris derived from the sides of the tank or in the fuel itself are filtered through screens to keep them from your engine. After time, that gunk in your filter impairs fuel flow, starving your engine. Perform other small maintenance procedures to get the most out of your fuel.

I did this with the car on the ground, not jacked up. Took me 5mins. Hardest part was the stupid plastic clip. Very helpful video!

Just finished replacing mine 👍🏻 thanks for the help! Having the cabriolet I had to remove a lot more than a plastic cover. The fuel spilling was pretty stressful and dangerous make sure to take a few breaks for fresh air 👍🏻

This video helped me out a lot, I was able to replace the fuel filter and now that annoying noise went away, car is running smoothly now .

My fuel filter comes in tmrw. Hopefully all goes well with the install, but thanks to this video. I have a way better understanding on how to install it.

You guys have saved my family hundreds of dollars. Your videos are very informative. I will be buying the next few parts I need from your website and possibly even more, thank you.

I have replaced fuel filters before and essentially I was just researching location. But that has to be the most idiot proof video to date. Thank you very much

Extra tips:
1. some auto parts dealers are calling this the fuel pressure regulator (make sure it has 4 connections) they gave me one with 3.
2. to decrease amount of fuel from lines you can open the gas tank cap on your car to relieve some pressure.
3. another optional step is to remove the fuse to your fuel pump, run the car, and let it die on its own. this will draw more fuel from the system
great vid though

Very good production values and amazing and easy to follow instructions. Makes me want to start working on my A4.

Brilliant video. Well done. The example of how, a how to video should be made.

[marknielsen]

Nice video, I was able to get the job done in my driveway without jacking up the car

Very helpful review before I change mine. Filled with fuel from local store, misfires now think this may be the problem. Multiple misfires on the diagnostic

This guy is thorough - thanks for the video!

GREAT video guys, how did this get dislikes?! You should make another video just of the fuel filter cut open, and name it "Audi lifetime filter exposed after 100k miles". That's some great hidden info/examples in there. Love the removal/install technique too. Cheers!

[FanaticFunGuy]

Excellent video...Thanks! (I hope you did one this good on the Fuel Pump replacement!)

Ordered from ECS and replaced 10-15 min, Great Video .

What’s the purpose of removing the gas cap?

[benic]

what I did, before starting I turned the ignition a few times on and off for the Fuel Pump to push some fuel in the lines and the filter.
