Hi Everyone,
I didn't see a general maintenance type forum anywhere so I just posted in here given my model.
If I set out to replace my fuel filter, but do not have a computer with VCDS or Vagcom that I could use to send a command to prime the pump, is there any downside to just hooking my car battery up to one of those jump boxes and cranking it until I've primed the fuel pump? What could go wrong other than my battery running out of charge ?
I once asked a auto mechanic about this and they said it would be fine; they literally said that is what they would do if I had them replace my fuel filter.
