    Anyone know where this is located and how often it should be changed?

    2011 B7 with 120,000km.

    Cheers.

    I’m pretty sure they don’t have a serviceable filter like a Golf does for example. There is a filter but it’s part of the pump unit inside the fuel tank so changing it is a bit involved. That is certainly how the older 1.6FSI was anyway.

    Silly VW. Car is running fine but was just thinking it may need changing after 6 years and 120k. Best to leave it alone George?

    It's up to you really. It would be fine to leave it alone, that's what the vast majority of people do. I think the part is around €115 ex VAT or so.
