Guess no one has answered this yet  -

It's cleverly hidden behind the 'spring tower' in the left rear wheel well.
Remove RR wheel.
Undo whatever clamp system holds it to the body.....pull it out, undo hoses
from it. - something like that.
( it's good to empty the old fuel filter out backwards and a clean dish and
see what's been trapped by the filter . I look for dirt, rust, water, and
metal particles )

Subject: Fuel filter location on 87 Syncro

Volks,

I am trying to replace my fuel filter on my new 87 Syncro, but as I have
only owned aircooled, I can not seem to find it.
Before or after the fuel pump? Is there a link on the Vanagon.com site for
tech procedures? Or perhaps some other site?

Thanks, Matt
