Golf GTI Fuel Filter Replacement - How to Locate and Fit New Fuel Filter

Having serviced my Golf GTI a few weeks ago one of the jobs outstanding was to replace the fuel filter. The fuel filter on the MK2 Golf GTI is tucked away underneath the body so replacement is an awkward job carried out on axle stands on the ground. I tried a couple of times but couldn't get sufficient space underneath the car to get access and have room to be able to move.

Tools need to replace fuel filter on VW Golf GTI
  • 10mm spanner
  • 17mm spanner
  • 19mm spanner
  • Mole grips
  • Wide, deep tray to catch petrol drips along with container to store afterwards
Fortunately I had access to a vehicle lift at a local garage so arrange to call in to do the work.
