Servicing my S3!

[mephisto]

Well im a bit skint at the moment so to preserve engine i changed the oil n filters myself until i can afford next full service. (biggy at 82k i reckon, as ive read on here water pump etc should be changed?)
Anyway i bought some plugs and fuel filter at the same time, how do i change the plugs?! I mean how do those connectors come off without me breaking them, and whats the best way to remove all those vacume hoses etc to get to the other 3 plugs and connectors!

Whilst im at it where is the fuel filter, im guessing up near the back of the car? As you can tell im a bit of a rusty mechanic, did my vehicle apprenticeship in london fire brigade when i was 16, that's a long time ago now

TIA

I got told the Fuel filter was non serviceable by Audi when I asked.

Audi say it's not servicable, but IMO it's definitly worth changing, with thousand and thousands of litres having flowed through, it's going to be pretty full of contaminants. for £10 it's well worth changing, quite east too, it's forward of the rear right wheel, on the under body.

So how about those connectors on the spaRK plugs?? How do they release?
