O
Start the engine and conduct a visual
inspection of the fuel system for leaks.
Notes
O
After draining the fuel it is not necessary
to bleed the fuel system.
O
Should a power drop or excessively high
intake resistance not be eliminated by back-
flushing,
the
filter
element
must
be
renewed.
Diesel fuel must never get into
waterways, the sewer system or
the ground.
Due to the disposal problem, it is
best to have the filter change carried
out by a VW Marine Service Partner.
