delfinis38 1 Posted October 29, 2015 What oil filters are you guys using these days... Used to use genuine, then discovered the hengst from euro car parts are the same filter but without vag logo... Euro parts only sell Mann or cross land these days should I go for a genuine one from the dealer.. What's the filtration like on a Mann or cross land.

robrado974 1 Posted October 29, 2015 I've always used TPS for my service parts . That's not to say the others are not as good though . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted October 29, 2015 I always used mann stuff. They have a good amount of filtration material. Was a good youtube video about oil filters and the guy dismantles a mann filter compared to some others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fendervg 33 Posted October 30, 2015 No problems so far with either Mann or Hengst parts - both are good quality items. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally buy a bulk load of filters guess Mann is the way to go. At 6 quid a pop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to buy Hengst oil filters from GSF, but they do not even list one now when I put in my registration number - Strange? Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted October 31, 2015 Normally a genuine one from my local VW dealers. The conversation always, always, goes something like this: Me: "I'd like to order an oil filter and new filter bolt please." VW: "No need to order. We should have it in stock." Me: "Well that would be great but I think it's unlikely." VW: "We always carry a lot of service items Sir. I'm sure we'll have it. Which car is it?" Me: "A Corrado VR6." VW: "Oh. I'm afraid we don't seem to have that in stock. Would you like me to order one for you?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
