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.

There is no "audi filter". Whatever audi sells is made by Mann or
Mahle.

I'm sorry, what? Whichever one you ask for, that's the one you're going
to get.
