Do You Need to Change Your Diesel Fuel Filter?
Our certified technicians at Niello Volkswagen of Sacramento are often asked, "how often my diesel fuel filter should be changed," or "how long will one last." For most diesel cars, we recommend that the fuel filter be replaced every two years, or approximately 10,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on how often you drive and what type of vehicle it is. You should always check your owner's/maintenance manual for your vehicle's specifications. You can also bring your VW to our service center, and we can check your diesel fuel filter for you. Whether you're in Sacramento, Arden-Arcade, Roseville, Rancho Cordova, Carmichael, or Citrus Heights, we can check your filter to ensure optimal performance.

What is a Diesel Fuel Filter?
The fuel filter collects dirt and debris, preventing it from entering your vehicle's engine. This safeguards your fuel delivery system and ensures a greater performance from your engine.
Why Does the Diesel Fuel Filter Need to be Changed?
Our certified technicians strongly recommend regular replacement of your diesel fuel filter. A clean filter is necessary to improve your vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency. Proper maintenance can be ensured by bringing your vehicle to Niello Volkswagen so we can test your fuel system.
What Happens if I Delay Replacement?
If your diesel fuel filter is clogged, it can result in poor fuel efficiency, shaky idling, difficultly starting, and sounds indicating your vehicle may stall because your engine's fuel injectors may not be getting enough fuel. Don't wait until your check engine light comes on before having your fuel filter checked.
