Volkswagen Polo, like everyone else modern cars with distributed fuel injection (injector), it is especially sensitive to the quality of gasoline and the presence of water and impurities in it. To protect the engine injectors from the ingress of foreign particles and ensure their stable operation, a fine filter is installed in the fuel supply system. Over time, dust, dirt and rust accumulate in the pores of the filter element and reduce its efficiency, therefore the fuel filter must be replaced periodically.

The official maintenance regulations for VW Polo with a 1.6 engine provide for the replacement of the fuel filter after 60 thousand kilometers of distance traveled or every 2 years of operation (whichever comes first). However, the well-known situation with the quality and contamination of domestic fuel makes some adjustments: if the owner plans to drive his Volkswagen for a long time, the standard terms should be reduced to 10 thousand kilometers or at least once a year. Many car owners combine the installation of a new gasoline filter with the next engine oil change.

Signs of a clogged fuel filter

There are several signs that indicate that a quick replacement of the filter element is required, regardless of the mileage and the overhaul interval:

• unstable operation of the motor (the engine troit or periodically stalls, the speed floats at idling);
• decrease in traction characteristics of the car (sluggish set of speed, difficulties when driving on hills);
• increased consumption of gasoline (in comparison with the usual indicators of a particular car).

Such malfunctions can suddenly occur after visiting a dubious gas station or due to the carelessness of the car service specialists, if dirt particles get into the fuel system during the repair. Also, premature replacement may be required when using cheap filters from unverified manufacturers.

Fuel filter device

Structurally, the fuel filter is a non-separable cylindrical steel body, inside which there is a filter element and a pressure relief valve. Since the filter is located on the bottom of the car, its body is covered with a special anti-corrosion coating. At the ends of the body there are fittings for connecting gas lines. As a filter material, special paper is usually used, which captures foreign particles with a size of 10 microns or more.

Fuel from the gas tank is poured into the filter through the side fitting, flows through the filter surface and is fed through fuel line to the engine injector. If there is overpressure in the system, a valve is triggered and gasoline is drained back into the fuel tank.
