Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I can't believe someone would just run without a fuel filter on a car like this.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Greetings, I have a 1999 Cab. I just ordered the plugs, filters etc... from Pelican. I researched DIY on the fuel filter and as I understand it, it's supposed to be located in a molded cradle on the coolant res. On my car, the cradle is empty. I found a DIY on 1999 Boxters and it says the FF is located under the car (evidently have to remove an underbody panel). I searched this forum and found nothing. Either a PO broke the pigtail off of the filter and ran the line straight, or 99's have an alternate FF location. I know this sounds dumb. Sorry for what I hope is a stupid ? But bottom line where is the FF supposed to be on a 99? I can't believe someone would just run without a fuel filter on a car like this.

POST 2Original post

If it's a C2, it's under the car. Yes, need to remove some body panel. I have replaced one on a '99 C2.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the quick reply. It is a C2. Time for a manual.

POST 4Original post

It's near where the front transmission mount is.

#1: Fuel filter is the aluminum cannister at the top of this photo (brown and orange electrical wire). #2: Location is in the tunnel underneath, just a few inches to the right of the green circle in this photo.
