VW TDI Engines Caterpillar 2 Micron Fuel Filter Kit Installation Instruction
1. Install the large o-ring on the threaded nipple on the bottom of the Filter Adapter.
2. Using a little diesel fuel, lubricate the filter gasket and thread the fuel filter onto the filter adapter by hand. Once the filter is on the adapter hand tight tighten the filter one additional complete turn, using a pair of strap wrenches. It is helpful to put a mark on the filter to know when you have complete one full turn.
3. Assemble the fuel inlet and outlet banjo fittings. Each banjo fitting should have a washer on each side of the fitting (one on the adapter side, and one on the bolt side). Loosely thread them into the filter adapter. The filter inlet is the threaded hole on the outside (red arrow), and the filter outlet is in the center (green arrow).
4. Remove the OEM filter from the car. Start by removing the clamp on the side of the filter using a Phillips screw driver (the screw for the clamp is under the fuel lines on the right side of the picture (red arrow)).
5. Lift the fuel filter straight up, removing it from the filter holder (you may need to release some of the fuel line hold down clamps to loosen the hose enough to work).
6. Remove the “Mickey Mouse” clip which holds the thermostatic tee (green arrow).
7. Place a container under the old fuel filter to avoid spilling old fuel (an old 2-liter bottle works well).
8. Clamp the fuel inlet and outlet hoses.
9. Remove the thermostatic tee by pulling it straight up. Replace the two o-rings on the tee with the new o-rings included in the kit (red arrow).
