2001 passat sport fuel filter problem.. this model has the housing at the top with cooler etc thats joined to the fuel filter with a alan bolt and has a big rubber seal inbetween..

for some reason, since the filter was changed i keep seeing fuel on the alan bolt...

it isnt a tough job to do, but this leak has left me scratching my head.. ive been carefull not to over tighten the alan bolt

how many seals should there be, how tight should the alan bolt be, anyone else had this problem?

And the engine code is ?? It is in the service book and on the label in the spare wheel bay. Regards Peter
