Look next to the tank near the passenger side rear wheel. The filters is typically secured with a hose clamp, and the lines are quick disconnect EFI lines that can be removed (carefully!!!) from the filter by depressing the spring loaded button on the fuel line fittings and wiggling them off as you pull. Some fuel will splash out, so be sure to guard your face. When you install the new filter, be sure it is installed with the arrow pointing downstream towards the motor.

EFI Fuel filters are much more efficient than old style fuel filters, and should outlast the life of the car, so there is usually no need to change it.

It is supposedly covered by a black cover and relatively simple to replace. I am not sure what tools are needed as we are going to attempt that tonight. !AnswerThe fuel filter is located the right rear wheel in front of the rear axle. AnswerThe fuel filter is located in the engine bay of my Passat (2000 reg). Its right beside the oil filter located under the engine cover. There are two different filter types for the Passat - mine has a number of pipes conencted to the top. The piece with all of the pipes is not the filter however but rather the cylindrical object it is screwed into.
