TDI conversion

[Eric S]

True, I assumed diesel fuel fliter, but didn't specifically say that. 
Actually, there were alot of specific details I left out...just wanted him
to get an overall picture of the complexity of the swap.

VW does use a bosch diesel fuel filter with the drain cock on the bottom,
and, if you get lucky, there is even a Bosch water sensor that screws in
there that can provide you warning when you need to drain the filter (if
you can be lucky enough to find one of the sensor kits that is):

I'd suggest, that any further discussions on the topic be taken to the
appropriate list:  TDI-conversion at yahoogroups.com

Making that suggestion based on the assumption that a TDI conversion Audi
is not a interesting topic for most here.  Correct me if I am wrong.
