Fuel Filter - GT SPORT 170 TDI

Hi guys,
Is the process for changing the fuel filter on my car a simple as it appears?
I'm a little scared that I've read various sources that seem to imply I need to prime the system with VCDS, post swap.
Can anyone help?
Car is a 2008 GT Sport with the 2.0 170 PD engine.
Thanks.

I've done it on my tdi 140 without having to prime.
To help it along, you could top up the fuel filter before refitting the cover.
It may take a few tries of turning over but will start eventually.

The first time I saw mine done I suggested to Alex to turn the ignition on and off a few times without starting. This cycles the lift pump and will fill the filter housing. Never had any issues getting it started using this method
