The fuel filter for my NMS Passat TDI and MK6 Jetta TDI were both in the engine bay in a canister that took about 4-5 torx screws to take a part, the entire job took 15 mins.

This is going to sound dumb. But I had the same experience... Ended up just popping the clip on the outside of the filter. It snapped into place on the outside and held as far as I can tell. Does what I am saying make sense at all? I might have to take pictures for you
