Audi deleted the pre-filter from later European ur-quattros, although they
left the mounting lug on the chassis.

The reason, allegedly, was that 'opening a fuel line' was a job reserved for
a 'Kraftfahrzeugmeister' and not a monkey boy.  Be that as it may, I have
assiduously ignored Audi over the years and have re-added pre-filters on at
least a couple of dozen cars.

I don't think you ever need to 'replace' it per se.  It's a very simple
sediment trap - you just take it off, was it out in fuel, and put it back.
