Just ordered 6 litres (5 + 1 free) for £62 with next day delivery, found a 10% off code that I used :)

he was adamant it wouldn't be getting done on a major service. I've always changed them myself in the past i guess vw know best

My local vw specialist said that fuel filter was part of a major service with them.

It's not scheduled by VW to be changed at all. A true lifetime component...

I asked vw about my fuel filter they said they don't change them on petrols anymore. It's just done 50k

They told me the exact same thing but I demanded they do it. I was paying for it after all.

As part of VW's service promise you can request the old parts within 2 days of a service so I did.

I cut the fuel filter right down the middle and it was filthy and clogged with a good bit of crud.

I ended up taking photos and uploaded them on here somewhere...

DO IT! What do you stand to lose, for the record my service was done at 65K miles.
