Hi guys,

I have a 2006 Octavia Mk1 Diesel TDi PD that's done just 60,000 miles. I'm about to do an oil & filter service and wondered whether I should change the Fuel Filter too. It's the sealed canister type. It's never been changed before. The Haynes manual states ' Renew the fuel filter * (* Only when using diesel fuel conforming to DIN EN 590). Is this the normal diesel we have in the UK? 

So, should I replace? If so, has anyone experience of what mileage theirs was changed at and did they feel it was necessary from the state of the old filter?

Thanks, Mike

 

 

Regardless of recommended intervals if its done 60k Just replace it. It wont do any harm and you can forget about it for the next few years
