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??
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.
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.

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

Is it?
I'd change a fuel filter about once every 2 years, so having do press a couple of buttons on a computer afterwards is no hard ship.
Sitting in the interior of the god-awful sack of shite that is the Insignia every day, I am quite happy to do that tiny bit of extra work on the filter.
I tried to like the Insignia, I really,
really did. Huge resources here for support, GM, trade links I already have etc. I really, really tried to like it. Head said get one...
Only one issue, it's a faking horrible shite box with terrible interior, terrible looks... there is nothing to like about it.
VW on other hand is such a nice place to be, seats far, far more supportive. Dash does not rattle and made of wheelie bin plastics. VW feels so much better made (is it? dunno, but feels it)
Also CC's fairly rare, even more rare soon VW stopped producing them.
