[How-to] Change the fuel filter in VW T5, T6 & T6.1 - replacement process

[eugene]

Hi all,

Fuel filter replacement intervals -
120 000 km for countries with stable fuel quality
40 000 km for countries with unreliable fuel quality.

I made a video on a simple process of fuel filter selection and change. Hopefully it will be useful to others.

Thanks for a great video - I have a T6.1 and am trying to swap the fuel filter - its got a water sensor at the bottom, I tried removing the filter, but there's no way I can access the sensor plug to disconnect it, the cable is also too short to pull out the filter out and disconnect, and my arms can't bend down there to get a decent grip. Does anyone have any tricks or tips on how to get the plug disconnected?
