Default Replacing fuel filter this weeekend. How important are the crush washers???
I thought they were included in the box, but nope. They didnt even offer them. Stupid dealer and stupid me for not checking. Anything different on the audi than sedan??

Make sure you replace all four, then test for leaks once they are reconnected.

Clearly it was foolish to not replace the crush washers when I changed the fuel filter.
