How do you replace the diesel fuel filter?

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Diesel fuel filter

We need to clarify that the entire operational sequence visible in the video tutorial attached below is not specific to the Audi A3 but is of a generic value, as in all cars the method is almost the same. The work is carried out in the engine compartment and therefore we open the latter and locate the filter, then we place rags around it to prevent accidental spills of diesel from staining the adjacent parts during disassembly, we open the container and extract the filter in question and the gasket from inside. Now, after lightly lubricating them with the same diesel, we install the new filter and gasket.
