On a 2001 Audi TT Quattro the fuel filter is located forward of the fuel tank, in the right rear wheel well area. The fuel line clamps are a bit tricky. The change will improve performance. The owners manual does not even list changing the filter. But do it! use a Fram, and it fit perfectly. Good luck.

2001 Audi TT Quattro, How can I check see if my fuel pump is bad by just directly testing it

You connect a Fuel Rail Pressure Tester and compare against the spec.

Articles and Videos on testing. It also has a pressure regulator.

Please HELP. Does anyone know a step by step procedure to drain fuel from a 2001 Audi TT Quattro roadster?Thanks

Right... ignition off. Keep battery connected.
Procedure:

The way I would do this is to find the fuel filter (not sure where this is on a TT, but will probably require jacking). disconnect the inlet hose and feed that into a fuel safe container/s (size and number dictated by how much fuel you need to pump) with some additional hose.
Alternatively, you can locate the supply hose from the pump itself (probably under the rear seat), or at the engine (though if you are pumping due to contaminated fuel, you will soak the filter with the contaminant, so if you're going to replace the filter anyway...).

Now find the fuel pump fuse.

- At this point, if you can locate the fuel pump relay, you can unplug it and jump the connectors across the relay to energise the fuel pump. Keep the fuel pump running until you have emptied the tank.

- If you cannot locate the fuel pump relay, unplug the fuel pump fuse, and supply 12V to the downstream side of the fuse (left side I think this is). 12V can be supplied via the cars battery, (via a jump wire, or permanent live supply at the fuse box) or by a spare battery or jump pack, but you will need to earth to the cars frame or earthing point.
Run the pump until the tank is empty.

You can also put a toggle switch in line on the supply wire to better control the pump.
And whilst down there, renew the fuel filter.


You could perhaps try a siphoning or pumping from the filler cap, but Audi anti siphoning fillers can be quite good. To get the tank as empty as possible, the fuel pump is your best bet

I changed the battery in my audi 2001 tt quattro and now there is no power to radio. i changed the fuse as it was blown but there is still no power to it. is there another relay or something that could go...

What CAUSED the fuse to blow? Was the battery hooked up backwards or something? If so, your radio is probably toast.

Please also take a few minutes to review these articles. You may find them helpful in your situation:

Audi tt 3.2 quattro oil filter change

The insert or cartridge filters are easy to change..You must jack up the front of the car, remove the engine belly pan. in the front of the motor there is a black cylindrical housing for the oil filter cartridge..On the bottom is a cap that just screws off..Unscrew the cap, take it off, slide the old insert off, then slide the new one on..Screw the cap back on and voila! you are finished..If the insert came with a new rubber o-ring, make sure to replace the old one on the cap.
