changing fuel filter

3.0trd · 04-19-2008, 12:47 AM

I have an 89 manual. How in gods name do you change the fuel filter? I can barely see it much less reach it. What is the best way to go about changing it?

Which one?

Tank or inline???

I thought there was only one, but I mean the one that sits on top of the differential bolted to the chassis

I just can't believe they would do that, I hear the mk2's have them right by the steering column by the firewall, wonder why they would move it to a place like that...

If you want easier access you will have to drop the tank which isn't a big deal after you get the system down that works for you.
