How do I change Diesel Fuel Filter on MK5 Golf

[Crackshot]

Does anyone know the correct procedure to change the fuel filter on a 2006 Mk5 1.9 tdi. I've previously changed this filter on a MK4 Golf but the filter housing is different on the MK5 and wondered if there was anything to be aware of before I do it.

The thread was very good.

It covers both types of filter.

I re placed my filter at the weekend and it took me about mins.

I did remove my filter canister to drain it down and wipe it out.

Job done:D
