Hello all -- I've been cmpltly blown away by all the information on this site.
Just purchased a preowned 2010 six speed manual TDI SportWagen with only 7500 miles on it from a local Austin TX dealer -- the car came with the existing 3yr/36k warranty (minus the existing 7500) AND a Certified Preowned additional 2yr/24k miles additional warranty for a total 5yr/60 VW wrnty.
Been doing my homework, and learning about the 507.00 spec and which oils are included in it, common rail engines, how diesel engines work, vag-com, CJAA, and of course the HPFP failures in late model CR TDI (some scary stuff).
This might not be the place to start asking questions, but I have a simple one about DIY fuel filter changing on a 2010 TDI.
Near as I can tell, earlier TDI models (pre common rail engines?) enabled you to prime the filter after replacement by turning the key to "on" a few times. That action energized the pump, which filled the canister with fuel and purged the system of air.
Question ???? is it possible to change the filter on a 2010 without using vag com to prime the system? My engine uses a fuel filter canister containing a bleed valve, if that makes a difference.
