Hello, I changed my diesel filter but forgot to mark it in relation to the direction of the arrows (your 3 hoses on mine) can someone help me? Thanks

Great, thanks.

On the other hand, the contact 5/6 times did not work on my Audi A1 1.6 TDI 105hp.

If this concerns other people, a manipulation that worked

I had to disconnect the outlet hose from the filter (which goes to the engine), vacuum to fill the fuel filter (which is otherwise full of air), then reconnect the hose before starting.

This minimizes air in the entire circuit before the engine because the inlet hose and filter are filled.

I think you have to let the engine run for 1-2 minutes, especially the time it takes for the air still present in the outlet hose to the injectors to really escape.
