Oil filter Bosch or Hengst

The oem filters are kind of pricey here so I use bosch or fram ultra synthetic

I believe there was a technical bulletin about this, recommending that the VW installations of the 1.8T be run the way Audi, who wasn't have the issue, was running them. So that meant using the much larger diesel Rabbit oil filter, like the Bosch 72174, or the Mann or Knecht equivalents, which upped the oil capacity of the engine, and then running only synthetic

I looked up filters and Bosch was the superior brand. I use my military discount and buy six at a time through Home Depot since the Mrs. Edge and my son's Escape take the same filter as my 2.5L Maverick. IMO the filter is as important as the quality of oil.

I do a lot of miles in my diesel so I buy in bulk from rock auto and the shipping barely goes up

My last order I made sure to get all of the filters from the same warehouse while still getting good brands like Wix and Bosch

I always buy Bosch filters for both our VW's

The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.

Always used Bosch Premium once warranty was up. Anyway, tech said Bosch is his first choice for a good substitute and probably even better than Honda. I tend to agree.

So I changed the filter to an $11 Bosch filter, got the car good and warmed up, still low pressure. When I start it up and the oil is still thin, I've got about 50psi and as it warms up it just goes lower until it'S around 10psi at 2000rpm.

But I've seen this too, with the genuine Hengst filters

bosch will do for a fester, for the more high performance or up market stuff i use mann or dealer and they aren’t that much more, i just had a 340 gt bmw in that ran the camshafts out of the head after 6k on factors oil and filter, the filter collapsed and sent paper fluff all round the engine so had to replace the cylinder head.
