2.0 TDI ultra fuel filter location

[Itsrainman]

Just got myself a 2016 2.0 Ultra and will do a full service in about 2000 miles. That well known on line parts store Auto… shows two filters, one appears to be a filter for a housing and the other the same as my previous 2.0 tdi 2014. Is it under the plastic cover on the drivers side and like a cartridge?

Thanks

Yes it is a cylinder under the drivers side floor behind the plastic cover.

Under the drivers seat.
Remove under body protection, you will see the fuel lines, the fuel filter sits above a steel protection plate. There are two sizes of filters, believe the early cars had the smaller inlet and outlet, the facelift cars have the larger inlet and outlet, at least on the 3.0TDi engines anyway. Once you have changed it prime your fuel system with VCDS or OBDEleven etc, I was warned about starting the car without priming the system as it can cause damage or airlocks.

Thanks. All.
