There is a lot of variation in specifics on the fuel filters, including differences in the location. So don't assume anything. Step one would be to look up the part number for the fuel filter for your car vs. whatever instructions you are hoping to follow, and see if they are the same.

I can tell you that my 2001 3.0i used the Mahle KL96 filter, had different fuel connections than the one in these instructions, but was basically in the same location more or less, so the instructions on accessing it were accurate and very helpful. Once you get there, it's not rocket science unless you're missing any special parts (like the Dorman clips, if you need those [I had bought them, but then found I did not need them]).
