The fuel filter is under the car next to the fuel pump reservoir and looks like a large, metal container. Arrows point the direction of fuel flow through the filter. Banjo type fittings with copper gaskets connect the fuel lines to the filter. Always replace these gaskets any time the fittings are loosened.



Follow the replacement procedure below to change out the existing filter.

1. Relieve the fuel system pressure.

2. Raise and safely support the rear of the vehicle. Have a pan ready to catch the fuel that will run out of the reservoir.

3. Have a rag handy and wear safety glasses when loosening the fittings. The system will be under pressure and fuel will be sprayed.

4. Hold the filter with a 19mm or 22mm wrench and loosen the fittings with a 17mm wrench. Wrap the filter and wrenches with a rag to contain any pressurized fuel. Have the catch pan ready.

5 Disconnect the fuel lines, loosen the mounting bracket and remove the filter.

6 Install the new filter but do not tighten the mounting bracket yet.

7 Make sure all fittings and sealing surfaces are clean. Install the banjo bolts with new copper gaskets and torque to 14 ft. lbs. (20 Nm).

I have a 1990 VW Golf II (1.8L, 4 cyl., 8 valve engine) with 155K miles.The car will not turn over. I suspect a fuel delivery problem and changed the transfer pump (in the fuel tank). I am sure that pump...

The fuel pump, accumulator and filter are mounted in an assembly under the passenger side rear seat. The pump is held in the fuel pump box with 3 screws. The assembly bolts to the underneath side of the car with 4 13mm bolts. You'll need to disconnect the fuel lines to it and you can remove the entire assembly.
