The 1.8T has had an upgrade on the oil filter, it is larger now to accomadate the anti sludge problem the americans seem to have. I used the standard 1.8T oil filter, it was the same as the one I took off, and costs very little, about £8.00 There is a picture of it here http://www.ronnysworld.com/oilfilter.JPG www.ronnysworld.com/service.htm |

Mann/Mahle is the OEM filter manufacturer for VAG. Their filters are very good. Certainly better than FRAM or other cheap stuff you can find at your local auto parts store. The standard filter on the 1.8T (if that's what you have) was 06A 115 561B. Audi (at least in the US) is recommending that the larger 068 115 561B filter be used instead. Cheers, Pete |
