Changed Fuel Filter Second fuel filter change today with the 2Micron kits on(25K miles). Simply loosened the nut on the steel line that attaches to the bracket which permits easy removal of the OEM filter (MANN PU/936 1/X. Luckily, clean filter and canister. Removed fuel, and wiped out canister. Blew out the canister to remove any debris. Re-installed OEM cover and re-tightened line nut. Primed the fuel lines/filter canister using VCDS. Great How-to link http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/fu...d-audi-a3-tdi/ No leaks! 25K miles with both kits and the return fuel filter gauge still registers where it did after it was installed.

DieselGeek P2015 intake manifold fix. 4 Feb 2015, Finally installed by removing the motor, as Jim recommends. I have the 1st version. No issues. Watch his video. Came in handy when reinstalling the spring correctly. Also, has a good recommendation to slightly crimp the end of the spring so it remains on the motor arm. Read voltage after starting and reads exactly 0.760 volts, as expected! The other values are. Slightly different than the before values. Mileage 87474 -2.4 % Lambda 0.8 % Lambda 01000101 Bin. Bits These were before measurements taken in December 2014 Address 01: Engine (03L 906 019 CL) 14:50:33 Group 121 -3.2 % Lambda 4.7 % Lambda 00000100 Bin.

Actually had a no start last week that had all the symptoms of water in the intercooler. First time but not surprised since the car is now on the east coast in subfreezing weather. Never had an issue in the deserts of SoCal .
