Hello
Do you know where this filter is on a Golf 7R?
Hello, I bought a diesel filter but it has a water sensor on it and now I see that there is none on yours, can I put it in anyway?
As long as the filter fits all the way into the housing it's ok. My filter was 151mm tall (longer than the one originally installed) and fit perfectly.
Hello, when I removed my diesel filter it was a little longer than the one I bought (Mann PU8021), is this normal?
Thanks in advance .
Hello, I would say tightening with the 5 nm torque wrench RTA golf 7 instructions

Hello, 2 important elements to add to the tutorial tightening each filter screw with 25nm torque wrench. Bleeding the circuit via the fuel pump can only be activated with VCDS. The bleeding method with the ignition key is very risky on this model.
