Why your D2 fuel pump fails
 

From AudiWorld Thanks to spitanddirt.

does ben normally change the fuel filter when doing a service or do you have to request this ?

I often change these mate but Audi suggest NO interval.

It's not uncommon to Find the filter blocked and restricting flow. Justbdepends on car, fuel quality used and regular use of the car. They're sooooo easy to swap on the '8.

good stuff. at 134k I should probably do this.

any how to guides on changine the fuel filter? or any pointers to get me started, so I can write a guide when I do it.

Here you go +++
