How do you release the pipe connectors from the fuel filter? Is there a special trick??

You just press the clips in and then pull the pipes off.

hi jimmy, could you tell me if the filter is in the same place for the gti and where abouts it is, and how much it cost you

Just in front of the rear drivers side wheel.

From memory it costs about £19 for a fuel filter.

Recommended to be replaced every 40k miles...

Really? 40K? It looks easy to get off but whats the process? Is there a valve to stop the contents of the tank draining all over the floor?
