Hi all,

I'm tuning up an 1997 A4 1.8T 5V. There appears to be a cannister with
banjo fittings near the fuel tank, but it cannot be removed unless the tank
is dropped down. I followed the fuel lines from front to back and that
canister is the only one I see. Furthermore, the bosch fuel filter I
recieved from my local jobber appears to be different from the cannister
near the tank.

Has anyone else replaced a fuel filter on this car, and if so, how did you
do it?

If you find out, let me know. I had my 1997 2.8q A4 tuned up & changed
timing belt last month. The dealer said that the filter is "good for
the life of the car" which I find very difficult to believe. The
service writer said that he'd never seen one changed in 8 years working
for Audi.

Take a look at the following write up:

It's for a 99 1.8t I believe but should be similar for other
similar models (2.8 or S4).
