I have several VW/Audi cars and I use Mahle oil filters most of the time. I've heard some horror stories about other aftermarket filters causing some problems, particularly on the water cooled Vanagons (I have one). Mahle and Mann seem like the best option.
Pros: best option, avoids problems

Volkswagen

I used the bigger passat 1.8t filters on my DD 2000 jetta with mobil 1 0w40 for over 100k in 4.5 years (135k total on vehicle) and when that car was totalled in a flood, the motor was tight and flawless...
Pros: motor tight and flawless

Oil filter/housing and the Crank Position Sensor are pretty common leak points. The CPS leak on my own car was like this phantom leak I just couldn't find until a shop fixed it for me.
Pros: common leak points
Cons: phantom leak
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I like the Mahle filter because it has a notched end on it, no need for a filter wrench anymore.
Pros: has a notched end, no filter wrench needed
Daca imi aduc aminte, doar un filtru de ulei de la Mahle a venit diferit fata de cel pe care il luasem inainte cu un an; Made in China vs Made in Austria.
Pros: made in Austria
Cons: made in China
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I've tried this filter and it produced lots more startup rattle from the lifters. Something to watch out for when trying it out.
Cons: produced more startup rattle
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
