You don’t need vcds to change the fuel filter in this car. Just turn the key a few times and the system will fill the canister.
Good to know.You don’t need vcds to change the fuel filter in this car. Just turn the key a few times and the system will fill the canister.
Are you sure? I remember using VCDS to cycle the fuel pump and I thought that it was necessary. But its been years since I changed a fuel filter and perhaps that step was unnecessary.You don’t need vcds to change the fuel filter in this car.

Yes. I’ve owned a few of these vehicles. With the Audi Q5 TDI I had to use VCDS to refill the filter, but it wasn’t a drop in filter.Are you sure?

The radio will work without the cd changer, but if you press media it’ll give you the cd error. There are a few cables on the bottom of the changer itself. Disconnect those and reseat them.Pulled the Head unit out, as the whirring and clicking noise was diving me nuts... well, more nuts!
Took the top off the unit.
Both ends of the ribbon cable seemed attached well...
Disconnected, it from the main board and took the changer out.
I can see at least 1 CD in there, but have not disassembled further.
Questions:
Anyone have any ideas?
Can I put the unit back in without the CD changer inside?
I'm not arguing with you. I really don't know. But I think I was following these instructions which stated: Unlike earlier TDI, your fuel tank's electric lift pump does not cycle on when you turn the key to "ON". And they show the procedure to use VCDS.Yes. I’ve owned a few of these vehicles. With the Audi Q5 TDI I had to use VCDS to refill the filter, but it wasn’t a drop in filter.
Yikes, that spare tire well looked nasty! So much better cleaned up. That round rubber piece goes around the oil fill, right under the cap.
