I also use Moble 1 0w-40 and a Mann filter.
Oil and filter changed at 105k. Purchased at NAPA Auto Parts in Newport News for $51
Spring is commin so i made service of my "R" oil Millers XF 5W40 + with oil filter Mann'a new oil filter cover - old one broke during disassembing
Also did an oil change to Mobil 1 0/40 and a Mann filter. Replaced a nasty K & N air filter with a Mann.
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.
I have purchased a new genuine plug, crush washer and oil filter and plan to change the oil and parts together
Per VAG-COM, 5,7xx miles and 372 days on this filter (Mann as I posted above): Looks fine to me!
I've used the larger oil filter for a couple changes and have gone back to the smaller stock filter for one reason. The drain-back valve on the diesel filter didn't work nearly as well as the valve on the smaller stock filter. I'd get a little valve rattle at startup with it which was noisy and embarassing to put it mildly. It did this consistently while the larger filter was used over 3 oil change intervals. Back to the stock filter now and all is silent.
