the fuel filter on a 79 bug convertible is under the front end by the axle and a 79 rabbit convertible fuel filter is in the engine compartment on the driver's side fender by the battery. be careful about sparks in the area. There SHOULD be two filters on a 75-79 (fuel injected) Beetle. Volkswagen only gives you one, but you need two. Make sure neither one is in the engine compartment. The first one is as the first respondent said: under the front of the car near the axle. The other one goes in the back of the car, somewhere near the transmission. Make sure you use Volkswagen Fuel Injection filters, and not the inexpensive clear ones the carb guys get to use. A fuel injected car's fuel pressure will blow a carb filter apart. Oh yeah...you carb guys? The fuel filters they use on lawn tractors are exactly like the ones we use on our Beetles, so if you can't find a filter in an auto parts store, just go to Home Depot or Lowe's.

The fuel filter for that model and year is found in the carburetor. Follow up the fuel line from the fuel pump and you will find a large nut fitting that the line threads into. Remove this and you will find a cartridge filter.
