(91-95) TDi Fuel Filter Change - bardi

Need to change the fuel filter on my Audi 80 TDI but I can't get hold of a manual.

Its a screw in type located in a metal holder and it appears that a clamp bolt needs loosening before the filter can be removed.

Grateful to know the procedure and whether there is a bleed device on the top of the filter holder.

Many Thanks

You should be able to unscrew the old one and put the new one in as you've worked out already, but make sure you fill the new filter with diesel before you fit it. I'm not sure if there's any bleed device but you should be ok if the new filters full up with fuel.
