Air filter Mann or Fram

FRAM air filter.

I bought Mann as my first and Hengst as my second, Mann all day.

The mann is or as someone else said, no real problems using that.

Personally I prefer the mann frecious plus filters due to annoying allergies. Though they are a huge pia to get for whatever reason so I am currently using a cortero filter. Good luck so far

Both are good for oil and air filters. But definitely get charcoal. Made a huge difference for a few more dollars on something you don't change often.

Mann is OE manufacture. When I worked at VW/Audi, our parts department would actually sell those Mann as oe. That’s what customers would get during their 20k services.

Mann filters have always been my go-to for my VWs and they've never let me down.

I change both air filters every 10k miles and use fram,stp and such.

Truly worried? Just use a simple (read: OE / OE supplier, like Mann or Mahle) dry paper filter.

Took out the air box completely this time checked all the vacuum lines replaced the air filter with a Fram air filter.

I see no benefit in spending more than $12-$16 on OEM supplier air filter (Mann, Heignst or what have you). Marketing can try their best but I just ain't buying it.
