The fuel filter should be replaced every 4 years or 60,000 miles (96,000 km), whichever comes first.
Have a qualified mechanic change the fuel filter. Since the fuel system is under pressure, fuel can spray out and create a hazard if all fuel line connections are not handled correctly.
The filter may require replacement sooner if you happen to buy one or more tankfuls of contaminated fuel. Have the filter tested or replaced if you suspect it has been clogged by contaminants.

Volkswagen and Audi consider the transmission to be filled for life – considering how many folks sell/total a car before 100k miles, this may well be true. But for the rest of us who enjoy keeping a multikilo buck expenditure around for a while, keeping the transmission happy should be a top priority – diluting fluid which has broken down due to heat, removing wear-in metal particles from the pan magnets, etc. For the most part, just changing the fluid every 30k miles should ensure a long life, with a proper filter change and fluid flush every now and then. Of course, at this point the issue of the “sealed” transmission pops up and ruins everyone’s day. We should be worried about overfilling the tranny, right?

NOTE: Disconnecting the negative battery cable erases pre-programmed electronic memories. Write down all memory settings before disconnecting the negative battery cable. Some radios will require an anti-theft code to be entered after the battery is reconnected. The anti-theft code is typically supplied with your owner’s manual.
