Default Name that car part.

I am pretty sure this is my fuel filter though I am not sure.
This is under the car near gas tank.... rear passenger side of the car.

Also is it very hard to change.... my car has 115+k miles on it and I'm not sure the last time this was changed.

I know how to change the oil and what not so that is around my skill level.

Fuel filter - $15-20 at your local parts place. Takes about an hour to change... I had to cut the strap around it.

Bullshit that the fuel filter - thats the factory NOS system

- make sure you get new washers when you replace it.

My wix filter came with new crush washers.

Just cut the plastic clamp around it and use a zip tie. You also have to drop the tank slightly.

The B5 design is crap compared to the B6, took me 5 min and other people with B5 take about an hour.
