Thanks guys. I am on the principle “ if something works don’t touch it “. i was just interested to hear some opinions. By the way i am using Mercedes Oil the car runs very good with it. I was using castrol and helix of shell but with this one the car works fine. By the way this is what the alternator looked like when i removed it. Skoda are still investigating about it

Greetings guys, i usualy mainly read not so much commenting. so i have this Skoda Rapid 1.4 TSI hatchback for few years. I always change with original ( basically MAN filters cause this is what is in the original boxes) but for a long time i was concern about one thing - FUEL FILTER. So i have two friends who are one in Germany and one in Bulgaria ( i am Bulgarian). Both of them are saying based on my VIN/chassis number that this car doesn’t need fuel filter maintenance or change cause it’s in the reservoir/ tank. Also in Skoda in Ruislep told me that you don’t change it. is this actually true? I always had mercs or Audis and always needed to change them. By the way when people ask me should they buy this car i always say NO! Give you a little history: front shocks on 28 k miles Clutch on 36 k miles Body control motion or what ever crap they made to replace the relays under the stearing wheel 46 k miles. Hand brake wire 13 k miles ( basically i bought it on 12 k miles). Alternator obviously was touched cause it had cracks on it and i recently changed it on 130 k miles. I am private hire so don’t be surprised about the miles we spin a lot for coins 😀 So yeah about the fuel filter it’s kinda weird . But i am asking if anyone ever changed it... how i said according to VW Audi and Skoda uk you don’t change it which is kinda weird for me... Cheers guys. A learned a lot from you about certain things how you change and fix. I fixed my alternator thanks to one gent from here. p.S. Everything except alternator was done under warranty. Alternator if you want i can upload photos to see the “ original “ one how it looks... which i am pretty sure it’s not

Thanks for the video mate!!!
