New fuel filter is on my to do list on the VW, now I have VCDS software.

Glad it was a simple fix 

Is it necessary to go into the software to change the fuel filter??

[Doctor Gollum]

Wouldn't have that problem if it ran on proper fuel

[biggriffin]

Must have been, some serious water in that fuel, or just crap fuel, to start waxing at such a temperature, diesel nowdays in the northern hemisphere is good to at least -15, before winter additives.
Best start putting a drop of petrol in the tank (old skool rules)

You would hope not!

Should be a change and cycle the ignition 3 times for 30 seconds or so to re-prime the setup, I thought it was only Merc who required random programming for simple changes.

You mean the bleached red, from that Irish fella.

Or the stuff some bloke recovered from a Milford Haven beach some years ago.

VCDS triggers the prime cycle for the fuel pump/filter, so gets rid of the air. Forums suggest the ignition method was not advised on the later TDI's

Also need VCDS to put rear electric hand brake in service mode, so you can change the pads.

BMW have done that for years too, battery changes on the 7-series for example.

Perhaps from DIY work point of view, but when I considered the Insignia that had a shite.design.com/interior

Would certainly rather sit in an Insignia than drive a VW

Have you tried a full scan yet?

Yes, everything works. Took a scan few weeks ago, will take another one soon.

Just setting a laptop up with VCDS so I can keep an eye DPF, after about 3,000 miles it was fine, just 0.008g in there, having done a cycle fairly recently. Interested to see how quickly it builds up
