Good ol' Vis! Telling me what I wanted to hear. I'm trying. I may end up snapping the piece
just to send a warning to other fuel filter straps to fall in line. Don't test me Audi standard maintenance.

I cut the plastic strap the holds the fuel filter in
I got so pissed at that bolt, I just cut the fvcking strap. Filter came right out. I just zip tied the filter back in when I was done. Even that was probably unnecessary since with the tank up and both bango's on, that thing isn't going anywhere.

I'm going to go snap that thing like a Slim Jim. It won't taste as good but it will be twice as
satisfying. Thanks Jekyll. I'll walk you through the Allroad mesh if you want.

I was naive, and picked up a Fram fuel filter when I did this job. The one in their book doesnt fit
Didn't even open the box until I had the old one out. Looked totally different than the old one. Had to put the old filter back in!! Got a Beck/Arnley one from the parts store (which had to be ordered), and it came with new crush washers. Did that job last week. For me, the hardest part was getting the tank straps back on, cuz I had half a tank of gas in there, which is not so light.
