Fuel Filters
Your Volkswagen holds two fuel filters. One that acts as a strainer for the gas tank, and the second fuel filter that cleans the fuel again before it is pumped into the engine. Both are extremely necessary for the health and longevity of your VW.
Fuel filters are usually made of polymer resin treated cellulose. Treated paper filter media that is designed to capture any tiny dirt particles or contaminants leftover from the fuel creation process. Volkswagen fuel filters often last up to 20,000 miles before requiring a replacement.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Filter
Signs that your fuel filter is going bad are simple to point out. More than likely, you'll experience car complications like:
- Vehicle stalling
- Engine misfires or sputtering
- Abnormal fuel pump noises
- Check engine light on the dashboard
It is important to tackle fuel filter issues quick once they begin occurring. Prolonging a fuel-filter replacement will only harm your fuel pump and or car engine, which could lead to costly repairs in the future.
