If you have a jack and stands, basic tools, not a problem. The dealer price for he filter is $130.00 but I have found them for $36.00 for Bosch OEM part. Just need the filter and four small hose clamps and about 1 hour at the most.

That fuel filter is located in the rear, close to the driver side, rear wheel, take off the plastic cover and you'll see an aluminum canister. I prefer Mahle than Bosch if you want to save money.

Thanks guy's,
I think I can do it myself.
My car is 3 years old with 63,000 miles so I'm due.
I found the Bosch filter for $46 on line, sounds good to me.
Thanks Again

When i looked to purchase one, i noticed that there are two options. One of them is for cars that come with a bosch filter and the other is for those that come with the Krecth (i'm not sure on the spelling). I'm guessing the easiest way to find out is just to look at mine first? Or is there another way i can tell? It has something to do with the VIN doesn't it?

Basically put the car on ramps in the back,
undo a couple of the nuts for the plastic cover(not even the whole thing) , wedge it open with a screw driver, put something under the car to catch any spilled fuel, put on safety glasses just in case fuel sprays in your face, put clamps on the fuel lines of some sort to keep fuel from running out, pry the funky clamps off with a screwdriver, undo the bracket insert new fuel filter, swap lines from old to new filter with new clamps from local hardware store, tighten clamps, redo bracket, turn on ignition, wait 30 seconds for system to pressurize, start car.
It may sputter for a few seconds, and possibly throw a check engine code (mine didn't). Once it's running, rev a little, check for any leaks,
reintall cover, drive away. Clear CEL with OBD scanner if neccessary.
Takes about 1/2-1 hour, mostly due to prying off funky OEM clamps.
They're a PIA.
Bought my Bosch filter locally for 35 bucks.
