i am getting my car looked at this weekend and i was thinking about changing the fuel filter ... how long of a job is this ? or should i just try it myself instead of paying for it? i haven't done much on cars but am pretty good at figuring things out... thanks ... also i don't have acess to a lift ... only the good ol car ramps

 

It is a bit of a pain, as it is tucked above the fuel tank and you have to partially drop the tank to access it.

 

Takes 30 min. See Audiworld writeup for more info. Make sure you have the right star bit and racheting box end wrench.

 

Anyone know if it's different procedure for a B6?

 

Thats why i said thank god i got the FWD model. The filter is on the frame rail right under passenger rear door. took ten minutes for me! haha

 

^^^whatever, you got torque steer ha! lol

Unless you got the right torx or hex bit that strap isnt gonna loosen. I got everything out the way just to find out I don't have the right tools[:@]

 

anyone know what tools i'm gonna need... like the numbers? ... so i can make sure i have them before i tackle the job

 

The tools are listed in the write up on Audiworld.

 

Anyone got the write up on the B6 filter change?

 

could a newb to mechanical stuff do it .... i did the snub mount mod but that's about it ... ?
