I have a 2004 Jetta TDI and I want to remove the vent so I can fill it to the top but I want to be sure I do it right. According to some posts I've seen here I remove the star screw for the fuel fill cover and pull out the cover. I got that far but I'm not sure about what comes next. There is an assembly forward of the filler cap that comes out easy with what looks like a float. There is another assembly aft of the filler that looks like it has a probe that goes into the filler hose near where the fuel nozzle goes in. I can't seem to get this assembly apart, it looks like I should be able to push up on the white plastic portion and pull out to remove the insides. I just couldn't get it out and I don't want to push my luck. I have visions of it being like a swiss watch with springs going everywhere. How do you do the vent removal on this car?
