Anybody else have problems after replacin fuel filter?
I have NO top end at all. I think we may have kinked a line somewhere cause if Im on boost hard the car totally cuts back.
In fact, at WOT it will stop at 5500 RPM completely. I hope it's not leaning out, but I hear no detonation or pinging. I'm running 100 octane in 91 mosde just in case. Hope to get a chance to look at it again on Monday.
Think it might be limp mode? The car pulls normally unless I really get on it. I wonder what limp mode is like with Stage 3.
Hope to VAG it tonight.

MIL on? Are you sure you put the filter in the correct direction??
I know some filters will only flow properly one way.. not sure about these, I haven't changed the one on my Avant yet..
Curious, why did you change it? Was it a PITA? Looks to be one..

Good to know. Maybe there is still a pocket of air in there? I would think you would need...
one heck of a kink to cause what you are describing.. You did unclamp the lines, right?? =)
