Getting ready to replace my 2.25 gas engine with a 200 TDI. I will need a fuel filter, is there a set up available in the USA which has been installed by a member ?

Yes, that is the stock filter.

Personally...if you are buying a whole new head, then I would suggest getting something better than stock that allows better filters. Stanadyne or Racor. The Stanadyne PM-100 fits on the stock mounts with zero modifications.

Head with the fittings of your choice: http://www.thedieselstore.com/templ...yne Fuel Manager&PartSubCat=Fm100 Filter Head

The 6", 2 micron head fits fine and is the best choice: http://www.thedieselstore.com/template/productOutput.php?&partNum=STA35612&VehNum=

Having better filtration has been shown to substantially increase injection nozzle life.

X2 on a Stanadyne PM 100 filter. I have the 6"/.2 micron filter mentioned above and it fits in the stock location. If it gets cold where you live I suggest getting the optional heating element for it. If it drops below 40 the heater kicks on and warms the fuel before it goes into the engine.
