[Vwdiesel] Replacing the fuel filter/ bubbles in fuel lines

  The usual failure mode seems to occur after attempting to drain it and
consists of fuel leaking from it when the drain tap won't close afterwards.
  Seriously, it seems to be a redundancy, since fuel filters perform the
same function.  Due to the possibility of not getting it shut after draining
it, I'd consider looking at it only if no other cause becomes apparent.


 The knob seperated from the shaft when I opened mine for the first time.
I didn't twist it enough to break it so I halfway suspect some PO had
done it and managed to stick it back on enough to stay.  After ordering
one from the dealer, I found that I can get them for much less!  :P  I
forget what the capacity is but it seems like it's over a quart.  Mine was
nearly clear full of water!  Much less odd glow plug light illuminations
after draining it.  :)
