Fuel filter location?

Anyone have some pictures of it?
And is there any special procedure to replace it?

It's all in one assembly with the pump apparently.

I -have- heard of people disassembling it if I'm not mistaken but usually the whole thing goes in one.

It is in the fuel sender under the rear seat on the drivers side.
The filter isn't sold separately, it is bundled with the fuel sender assembly.

Dominik KuAeek, PM me your email address and I'll send you the info you need.

Edit: Post your location as there are multiple versions depending upon your geographic location in the world.

Read this thread.

Use an internet search engine. This has been covered over and over again.

You must use your VIN. Old and new pumps/filters are NOT compatible! And change the relay. (Yes, search on E55 fuel pump relay.)

Fuel pumps on passenger side of a left-hand drive car. Fuel filter/regulator on driver-side of left-hand drive car.

I've posted on this multiple times. Search, search, search. And do not forget to purchase the adapter cables for the fuel pumps and the fuel filter/regulator if you install the latest versions. Be advised the Australian version uses a different part number.

Macedon, the pumps (two each) are not co-located with the filter/regulator. Pumps on passenger side, filter/regulator on driver side of a US spec car.

Please write this 100 times on the blackboard.

You can change the filter for like less than 40 bucks if you follow the DIY I posted on this forum.

The only difficult thing about it is opening the fuel sender without destroying it and carefully and accurately drilling out one end of the fuel filter.
