Where is this nut located? I don't see it in the pics on the DIY I pasted the link to up above.

I'm doing this in a couple of weeks and I'd rather have a spare metal one ready when I start.

The nut is between the filter and the gas tank. As soon as u can see the filter you'll see the bolt and nut.

it's my understanding that any shop with the right equipment can do that, or even yourself if you have it. It doesn't have to be Audi, but should be a shop you definitely trust...
