Good day gentlemen, I'm a little unsure about the location of the fuel filter for the car listed above. I'm about to change the fuel pump motor and i'm assuming the fuel filter is together with the fuel pump assembly yea?
if so may you direct me to the fuel filter and replacement procedures if possible. I greatly appreciate your help in advance.

Thank you.

Good morning,

The filter is part of the fuel pump itself and is not sold separately.
