Now you're confusing me.  European VW/Audi 5 cylinder carburettor engines have 
small petrol filters (1 1/2" long, 3/4" in diameter) in the petrol line in the 
engine bay, quite near the camshaft-driven mechanical petrol pump.  The hoses 
are just push-fits on the ends of the filter housing.
 
Is this the same beast?

If so, in Europe it's a "mandatory change at every service" part.  Only costs 
about $2, though.
