    Need help replacing fuel filter on a 2.0l FSI engine

    Hi all,

    Yesterday I serviced my Mk5 2.0 FSI for the first after I recently purchased it second hand.

    Did the oil change, and replaced oil filter, air filter, cabin filter and all spark plugs.

    I was also planning to replace the fuel filter but I couldn't disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel filter.

    Any tip on how I can take them off? Is there something to unclip?

    Thanks

    Squeeze the the tabs on the fitting, wiggle and pull.

      The blue bit needs to be pushed in.
      It is a tight space, remove the black plastic mounting strap and you may be able to get a better angle on it.
      If you want to reduce the amount of fuel spilling, run the engine and pull the fuse for the fuel pump, wait for the engine to stall.
