Oil filter Mann or AC DELCO

My local Advance Auto has the factory Mann filters...

I would stick with MANN filters since they are an OE supplier.

filter is the nipple mk2 type that mounts to the fire wall next to the turbo.

Per VAG-COM, 5,7xx miles and 372 days on this filter (Mann as I posted above): Looks fine to me!

I used the Mann 950/4 on my 1.8t and sent my oil out for analysis to Blackstone labs. They reported that the filtration level for that filter was superior.

I always use Mann as well with no issues.

My g/f and I use Mann filters in both our GTIs and never had any issues.

I had this very same problem with my golf. Replaced both oil pressure sensors....nothing. Did an oil change....nothing. Replaced the instrument cluster....nothing. I was about to pull the pan off the motor to check for clogging on the screen or if the pump was faulty when I thought about an engine flush. I did just that, new 10w40 oil and mann filter and problem solved.

I ordered and received a bunch of maintenance items for the Van. But I plan to cover: Fuel lines (finally) Trans Filter/Flush Rear Diff Gasket and fluid Headlight Relay Kit Dual Washer nozzles Upper Ball Joints Lower Ball Joint Repack the front bearings SST Brake lines 4 corners 15W-50 Mobile 1Oil and new Mahl/Mann filter With the above it should be good for another year of backup use.

anyone know if the mahle's are still made in a decent place. no more mann filter on my car, at least not the chinese ones.
