FUEL FILTER CHANGE INTERVAL

Post by geddy1972 »

my son has a 2006 polo 1.2 3 cyl BMD engine and he is going to give it a full service.

it had new plugs about 6 months ago so we wont have to worry about them.

apart from the usual oil, air, pollen filters, does anyone know the service interval change for the fuel filter please ?

its done 86,000 miles and not sure when it was last changed.

also according to an online ETKA EPC there seems to be two options depending on whether or not it has a pressure regulator and a fuel return line.

any help appreciated.

Just change it, look behind the right rear wheel.
Look up the partnumber on the filter.
A special tool is available to loosen the clamps.
5min job, remember to place a bucket under the fuel linea, and do not have the car on or on acc, just leave the key out the car :lol:
