Clean fuel is the key to a long and smooth operation any car. This rule also applies to Volkswagen polo... The car is extremely picky about the quality of gasoline. Even minor problems in the fuel cleaning system can lead to serious engine malfunctions. Can you change the filter yourself? Yes. Let's figure out how this is done.

Purpose of the fuel filter on the Volkswagen Polo

Fuel filter - essential element fuel system Volkswagen car Polo. It prevents dirt, rust and non-metallic impurities from entering the combustion chambers of the engine. The quality of gasoline offered at domestic gas stations often leaves much to be desired. In addition to the above impurities, domestic gasoline often also contains water, which is harmful to any engine. The Volkswagen Polo fuel filter successfully traps this moisture, and this is another indisputable advantage of this device.

The device and resource of fuel filters

Volkswagen Polo, like most modern gasoline cars, has injection system injection. Fuel in this system is supplied under enormous pressure to special petrol injectors. Therefore, all fuel filters installed on injection cars, have a robust steel body. A filter element made of paper impregnated with a special compound is installed inside the housing. The filter paper is folded many times in the form of an "accordion". This solution allows to increase the filtering surface area by 26 times. The principle of operation of the fuel filter is as follows:

Fuel filter replacement intervals

The manufacturer Volkswagen Polo recommends changing the fuel filters every 30 thousand kilometers. It is this figure that is indicated in the vehicle operating instructions. But taking into account the operating conditions and the quality of gasoline, the specialists of domestic car services recommend changing the filters every 20 thousand kilometers.

Location of the filter on the Volkswagen Polo

On the Volkswagen Polo, the fuel filter is located under the bottom of the car, next to the right rear wheel... In order to get to this device, the car will have to be installed on an overpass or inspection pit.

Causes of malfunction of the fuel filter

There are several reasons why the fuel filter on the Volkswagen Polo becomes completely unusable. Here they are:

• the filter has undergone internal corrosion due to excessive moisture condensation on the inner walls of the housing;
• Due to low-quality gasoline, resinous deposits have accumulated on the walls of the housing and in the filter element, which interfere with the high-quality cleaning of the fuel;
• the water contained in gasoline freezes in the cold, and the resulting ice plug clogs the inlet fitting of the fuel filter;
• the fuel filter is simply worn out. As a result, the filter element became clogged with impurities and became completely impassable.

Consequences of a broken fuel filter

The above reasons that disable the fuel filter on the Volkswagen Polo lead to a number of consequences. Let's list them:

• the fuel consumption of a car increases by one and a half, and sometimes even two times;
• the car engine works intermittently and jerkily, which is especially noticeable on long climbs;
• the engine ceases to respond in a timely manner to pressing the gas pedal, tangible power failures occur in its operation;
• the car suddenly stalls, even at idle;
• there is a "triplet" of the engine, which is especially noticeable when picking up speed.

If the driver observes one or more of the signs listed above, this means only one thing: it's time to change the fuel filter.

About the repair of fuel filters

Fuel filters on Volkswagen Polo vehicles are single-use devices and cannot be repaired. This is a direct consequence of their design: there are currently no proven ways to clean clogged filter elements. The option of replacing a clogged element also cannot be considered seriously, since the fuel filter housing is non-separable. Therefore, the filter element cannot be removed without breaking the housing. Thus, a clogged filter can only be replaced with a new one.

2. The car is now set up on the overpass, its engine starts and idles until it stalls. This is necessary in order to completely relieve the pressure in the fuel line.
3. Two pipes are connected to the filter fittings high pressure, which are attached using steel clamps with special clamps. First of all, the clamp is removed from the outlet fitting. To do this, press the latch with a screwdriver while simultaneously pulling the tube off the filter. The tube is removed in the same way from the inlet fitting.
