Errrm, do a search !

Here is my Passat, your filter setup should be the same.

Back off clips as below

Undo clamp screw as below

Carefully change 'o' rings on fuel stat as below, wet the rings with diesel before pushing stat back in.

Once it all back together, crank over to bleed.

Compress them carefully with pliers/grips then move them to the correct position and gently release.

They go back on the same way they came off. Alternatively, go and buy some petrol pipe clips (not jubilees) making it easier in future. VW only used the spring clips for production line convenience and cost.
