Default Fuel filter replacement

Where is the fuelo filter located. Can I do the replacement myself or is it too complicated? Couldn't find it on AUDIPAGES

Default Uhm.Yeah...that has been the reason why I haven't put a new one in yet: it sits on a shelf...

...in my garage. Couldn't find it on the Bentley CD-ROM either.

Default Here you go. Sorry no cool pics.

It's pretty easy to find and replace compared to some other Audis. In front of the passenger wheel well there is a plastic cover. Remove it and you will see the filter. Get a drain pan and loosen the banjo bolts while holding the end of the filter with an open end wrench. (Don't lie directly under the filter, some fuel will drain out). Then undo the strap. Don't forget to replace the crush washers when reassembling. Before putting the cover on, start the car to check for leaks.

Default The rear passenger wheel

Don't forget, it is just in front of the rear passenger wheel right next to the body. Also, it is directional so make sure you screw it in right.
