Hello all my first post , I just bought a 2010 Jetta TDI my first diesel . I was reading about changing the fuel filter and it didn't really go into how to bleed the air or water out of it .There is a bleed screw on my filter so I figure I will have to do it at some point .My guess is I will need some kind of fitting with hose and valve to screw into the bleed port .??
Take a mity-vac and attach it to the bleeder. Apply vacuum. The manual says drain every 10k, replace every 20k. Some don't even have drains.
