Most of us here are from the US, so we don't have TDi's. Sorry.

Usually the diesel filter is easy to change, whether its in the engine compartment or under the car. The hard part is priming the system after the change. You have to make sure there is no air in the system or your car wont start after the replacement. Its a must to fill the new filter with disel. It may also be necessary to crack the lines going to the injectors to bleed out any air in the system.

As for the knock, all diesels knock to some degree. If it seems abnormally loud you may have excessive carbon buildup.
