Use a bosch or a Mann oil filter for an 8v gasser engine.
I've used both Hengst and Mann over the years and never had a problem with either. Although I've noticed the Mann filters seem to look a little more "used" when the come out for some reason.
I stick with a winner. Mann filters and Mobil1.
I think the OEM filters are the best there is. Mann Filters – GTI 1.8t (OEM Supplier) • Oil Filter (W 719/30) – 9 micron filtration at 99.5 – 99.9% efficiency - By-pass valve opens at 2.5 bar = 36.3 psi - Cellulose treated with chemical – no fiberglass filters allowed in Germany - Long-life filter – has recently been greatly improved to allow VW/Audi’s extended drain intervals
I only use Mann Oil Filters on my car since 55 miles (currently 68k+). 6000 mile intervals for my Mobil 1 Synthetic oil change. Blackstone Labs recommended I use the oil for even more miles.
before you go tearing down your engine, go buy a mann filter (has a check valve in it) from a vw parts plce and have your oil changed with detergent oil, i had a bit of carbon build up, did this and solved all my problems.
Filters: OEM Mann/Mahle/Hengst only Oil: 15w40 winter, 20w50 winter I've never had to replace an oil pump or cam followers(\"lifters\") on any of my cars. VW engines, especially higher-mileage ones, love thicker oil.
I always use stock VW/Mann oil filters. I think next oil change I'll go with Mobil1 0W-40 instead of Royal Purple 5W-30 and I'll change the oil at 10,000 miles instead of the usual 7,500 with RP.
I'm hoping that getting some MANN filters for the upcoming oil change will help solve MY problem...I'm frankly getting tired of dealing with this
Replace oil filter with new filter preferably Mann.
