OEM TDI Fuel filter 2011-2015 q7

hello,
anyone got the OEM fuel filter for TDI Q7 2011-2015?

I replaced the the fuel filter in my 2015 TDI as per the maintenance schedule. It was very simple.

Yes, it is an easy swap. You do need VCDS to cycle the fuel pump to purge air from the filter though. I imagine you COULD skip that step but it might require long cranking times. I got the filter at my dealer. About $30. as I remember. 8K0127400A
