Newb question on TDI fuel filters?

[solman1]

Hello all,
I just got my 2014 Jetta TDI and I am loving driving it. What I was wondering is wether or not our TDI's have a fuel water separator as a function of the fuel filter? Somewhere you could drain off the water from the filter or system to help prevent problems.
I have not seen it mentioned on these threads but thought I would ask. I know many diesels do have a water drain especially diesel trucks.

There is little to no need to drain fuel filters any more.

I haven't once seen any water in my filter in the 14 years of it's existence.

Use a fuel additive, like fuel power, which disperses water, and you'll never have to worry about it!

OK thanks. I thought I would make sure

On the mk4's there is a water drain at the bottom of the filter.
