That filter is just not right. Get an OEM filter. Hengst E300H D28
Haven’t had any issues with Hengst
Been driving these cars for almost 20 years and have yet to find a compelling reason to not use Mann or Mahle filters for everything, at times a Hengst here and there. Not one quality issue yet.
VW Genuine filters used on all oil changes too.
I\u2019ve done this method for 10 years on my tuned 15\u2019 Golf TSI. Since brand new to 150k miles. I change the filter every other oil change... The factory filters are rated for 10,000 miles I don\u2019t see an issue but I do have an issue of leaving oil in that long, which is why I changed it at 5000 mile intervals.
The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.
Tbf the b6 passat will probably rust away just by existing before the engine gives up. That being said, 1.4tsi engine is not great not terrible. Many problems with them are caused by lack of maintenance and by cheap oil filters.
I'd just recommend getting a VW oil filter. Some of the aftermarkets are really cheap and can collapse in on themselves.
B5 Passat (and Audi A4, same gen), 1.8T.
Filter - a big-ass 1.5 liter spin-on - mounted at an angle, directly above the front subframe.
Remove from top, after relocating the coolant tank.
Strategically use absorbent mat (floor diaper) to contain the inevitable spill.
But I've seen this too, with the genuine Hengst filters
