Hi Everyone,
I have a 2010 Ibiza TDI Ecomotive, and recently I've noticed that the fuel filter is slowly leaking out diesel. It's a very slow drip when the engine is running, and doesn't appear to drip at all with the engine off.
It has a 1K020 051E filter.
I've taken the filter off and checked it over - no holes or cracks, and the hoses/clips seem to be in good condition too. Didn't appear to be blocked.
The car has only just tipped over 48000 miles, and the handbook says replace the fuel filter at 60000 miles.
Does this mean it needs a new filter? Or could there be a different issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
