"Can not change fuel filter. From Audi, it is a lifetime filter."

Umm, I don't think so. . .

you can't even blow through it without passing out.

Default Translation....

We're too f'ing lazy to drop the tank down a bit to get the fuel filter out. We'd prefer you pay someone else to do it instead.

P.S. Come again soon!

Default I got the same line from the dealer I like. They can't do it the short cut way

so they dont like/want to tie up their guys with doing the 6hr book job that includes fully dropping the tank.
