In the center of the plastic baffle in the tank, there is indeed a round screen, no more than 3 inches OD (IIRC). I fashioned a puller from a coat hangar. You will have to pull hard to get it out, but it will come. I think there was a ring that was attatched to the top of it, that is what I hooked onto. All this is from memory. Hopefully it is as simple as I remember (I just turned 35, as I get older -everything- gets easier)... David
Yep, it was easy enough, and to my delight/ dismay there was really nothing in it. The filter is cylindrical and pulled out easily with the trusty coathanger. I used (clean) offset longnose pliers to set it back down in, then a screwdriver. So the car has a new coil and clean screens, we'll see if it behaves if the road ever gets Sciroccoworthy. I hate this time of year...
