fuel filter is right at the back underneath next to your fuel tank, just have a look and you will find it.

to depressurize start the car and remove the fuel pump relay under the bonnet and wait for the engine to cut out, then try to crank the engine for a few seconds.
when you remove the fuel filter some petrol will stilll squirt out so maybe wear some safety glasses.

Like axemurderer said, it's at the back. More specifically, on the drivers side.

Even depressurised there will still be fuel in the hoses so some clamps to close the hoses helps and even then you will still get fuel spill out over your arms, just be careful.

And use the fuel filter removal tools.

There are 4 clips you have to push in at the same time. once pushed in, push the clip towards the filter then backwards.

Theres many threads about it. And dont use vice grips on the fuel line clips. Break em and new fuel line is needed.

Check out this thread, changes fuel filter as well and tells you whats needed.

Vy executive
So for my 2002 vy executive sedan. Do I have to take the tank out to change the fuel pump or is there a spot in the car where I can access it?
