Im about to do mine ~ will report back with my filter condition. Very curious to find out the condition, since mine is 175000KM ~ I highly doubt the previous owner replaced it.

Anyone use PB Blaster? I've used that for several break jobs ehn trying to get the rusted rotor off of the hub and its been great.
As for the fuel filter I've added that to the list of things to look at on the S8 if I keep her long term. |
I'm a big fan of PB Blaster. I didn't try either on my fuel filter nut. I just cut the bolt and replaced it with a zip tie. The fuel filter isn't going anywhere.

another big fan of PB Blaster...older folks around here swear by it. I always have a can near my tools.
I have 134k miles on my 2006 and have the filter ready. Need to get this job done asap. Good thread. |
Around here PB blaster and the like are considered snake oil.
|
Those fuel filters are pricey little buggers at $75!
So what "mileage" are folks replacing these at? I've got an '06 with 90k. |

It is not always 15 minutes job. If that single bolt goes rusty you have to cut it. Not easy underneath the car.
Note that my car is 90% TX (no salt) and two winters in MA (limited drive time in winter though, tot of 3k miles). Yes, i went with the Mann filter, looked identical. Original filter had a mfg date of close to 16 months before my car was built! Amazing. No real back pressure or obstruction in my filter either, after 9 years and 95k miles. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...de11edb6b0.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...a3bed5f291.jpg |
Body saw is the key to cutting bolts like that.

Hmm, not sure you have looked at the location?
No way that thing will fit!!! :-) |
