Look under the car, inboard of the driver's rear wheel.

If they didn't change it in MY 2003 then it's in the same place as previous years.

Now that I think about it, I didn't see anywhere in the maintenance schedule where it said to replace the fuel filter at all (I have a 2004). Maybe the new fuel system that was installed beginning on the 2003 cars (built since December 2003) did away with the external filter. When was your car "born"? Does anyone else know if my speculationmay be true? Have any other late 2003 or 2004 owners been under their car and seen the fuel filter?

Actually, I heard that it had been moved inside the fuel tank but had not been able to verify that yet.
