starting a mk6

[h7thl]

hi guys i changed the fuel filter on my mk6 2.0 fwd transit i filled the fillter with clean fuel put it on the van it started first time then cut out and cant get it started again any help would be great

Take filter back off and fill with diesel to the top and refit, this time when you start it you need to give it some revs for a couple of minutes.

Mrmpuk is correct,i had to do this 2 or 3 times before my mk6 would run properly,didnt fill diesel filter to brimm
