Hi Pete,
I cant comment on your specific problem or if it is the same as this tread but I can point you in the right direction on this: Quote:
Preferably use VCDS (aka VAGCOM) which gives a more descriptive output. It's not cheap to buy (ebay versions don't work very well!) but it works well, where are you located? Maybe someone nearby could help out or point you in the direction of a garage who could read the codes for you?

Stick with Audi filters, it saves a load of hassle in the long run. Not sure on your engine where the filter is but once you have the new one you can compare, but it does sound like you are looking at the correct part You will need to fill the new filter with fresh diesel before fitting the pipes, this makes for easier starting and prevents running the battery flat trying to pump the fuel up to the engine. VCDS aka Vag-Com is best for reading and clearing codes, costs around £270 and you require a laptop but if you are keeping the car then it makes sense to invest in one

Thank you all for you advice.
I am Nr Orpington in Kent. I have ordered a filter from Southern Motor Factors. Its an original for £36. I need a filter anyway so I figure why not start here. If this doesnt work then I need to get the fault code out of the car. I have the car fir a year now, so I was thinking of getting another A8 but maybe the 4.2 Diesel this time. Are the VCDS aka Vag-Com the same for both these models. I wouldnt want to spend now only to find it wont work on the next car? Thanks for the tip on priming the filter. Thank you.

VCDS and Vag-Com is the same thing and will work on most if not all Audi/Volkswagen.
There is plenty on here with inside knowledge of VCDS/Vag-comm who will be able to help you in choosing the correct product

I changed the fuel filter today but unfortunately it didnt work. So I guess its going to be something more expensive.
I'm Petts Wood, Orpington, Kent. Anyone Nr me that has the diagnostic leads etc that would be willing to help?
