If its like the coupe it,s located in with the fuel tank sender unit and is a bit of a task as it,s in the tank.You remove the rear seat base remove an inspection plate remove the sender unit and the filters there.when refitting ensure that the arrows line up with designated marks on tank or the guage will read wonky.Obviously a low fuel tank level would be better .

Could be wrong , but does the above suggested solution not apply to PETROL version ?

Guys - thanks for that but the actual filter that I want to change is the one located at the rear of the Engine where access is very restricted. Thanks,

Nobodys perfect , we all make mistakes sometimes . Otherwise your solution was good if car wasn't a diesel .
