Right Josh, you owe me! Just been & photographed this!!! :shock:

The big bit of metalwork underneath the filter is the rear axle beam, so will give you a very good orientation of where it is & it's very central too. :D

Previous owners had it either serviced at VW or a independant VW specialist, so it had good service history. So has been checked & replaced regularly I would say. As the cleanliness of the filter seems to suggest it wasn't long ago it was changed!

Performance VW! :lol: Not at the Mo! :lol:

By the way, thats your coil!! Make sure all the connectors are on tight. Have you put the filter on the right way round? If not you'll have no fuel! :shock:

PS. I checked for you & the filter is a once every 40k change!

Before you completely blame the coil, are you sure which way the arrows pointed on the filter? Be an easier fix for you.
