Thanks man... I did a preliminary search and then also searched on a4mods.com but couldn't find one... Spent another 10 minutes searching and came up with a few.

Do you know if the fuel pump should be replaced at the same time? or if i should wait for symptoms... just turned 70k

No need to do the pump. As long as you're changing the filter, you'll be ok. I just did mine a couple of days ago and I know AudiProtein just did his a few days back also. The clips on the hoses are a real PITA and they're very brittle so be careful.

Alright thanks Undisputed. Scheduled to take care of this on saturday!

before you do this, check your VIN against the recalls. there's a currect recall for the fuel pump but only for specific model years. i had mine replaced last yeat for free they will replace your filter too.

where can i find out?

I believe MY 2003 was the year the recall applied to.

im pretty sure 2003 was the year for the problems.

Here you go. You should be covered if you're 2003, mine is too, However i remember dealer was telling me you still had to fall in under a certain VIN range.
