I changed the fuel filter housing on my 2.0tdi BKD last Saturday as it developed a leak, it ran fine Sunday. Monday morning driving to work and when changing from 3rd to 4th the engine loses power and judders, then same thing happens going through the gears up to 6th. If you ease the power on gradually it's not as bad, and it's worse going up hill. There's no warning lights showing up on the dash, and it's not showing any fault codes either.

Has anyone got any ideas what it could be or how to sort it?

Looking at Elsawin there is a gasket and a seal inside the canister. I guess you're not seeing a fuel leak so the circular seal must be OK. All I can suggest is to have a look at the gasket to make sure it's on in the right place and not blocking any of the fuel passages.

Did you put in a new filter, seal and gasket or re-use the old ones?

I replaced mine a couple of days ago and so far so good ( I haven't done much miles to be honest )
did you place the ´Olympic seal `in the correct position ? it only goes one way but its worth checking

you checked throw vag com right if it had any faults ?
