Are we talkin cabin filter or oil filter?
Oil, was referencing the post above. Never heard of Hengst so was curious as most people used Mann.

Ah my mistake. Yeah I have only used Puralator on my GTI. I used Mann for my cabin filter though.
I just use Mann for both, the oil filter is only like $15, I really didn't even know there were that many different brands for oil filters.
I just pick mine up from the Advance Auto right down the road from my place.
I've always used Mann filters and am at 115k miles. I also throw away all the dealership promotions because they are never worth it. Brakes, tires, maintenance can all be had for cheaper by better trained techs. Or if you do it yourself even cheaper. Unfortunately I've been to 3 VW dealers near me and all of them suck. I'll also never buy new again and just hover forums or private ads on models 1 or 2 years old.I took my car into VW around 12k miles after buying it new for a free oil change and the technicians working on the car made a big stink about me having done my own oil change around 5k miles and using a purolator oil filter. Saying that I was going to destroy my engine using that, rofl.
Too much fan boism for the GerMUN parts or were they on to something? lol.
Since then I've used only OEM VW filter however my buddy hooked me up with a free MANN filter so I said f**k it, it's just a filter and stuck it in for the winter. I'll put back OEM oil filter in Spring.
Likewise. I have mostly run Fram and STP filters as that's what's local. Never had an oil pressure issue. I've only owned used cars personally, 9 or 10 now.I've always used Mann filters and am at 115k miles. I also throw away all the dealership promotions because they are never worth it.

Not what I did, but what critters did. Woke up to go to work, got in my car and it won't start. Pop the hood and discover some critters have created a nice little nest on top of my motor. Probably chewed through some wires. Really not looking forward to getting this fixed.

This week I Got the stillie winter tires on and summer tires stowed. Had my flasher dude flash to the latest APR stage 2 flash. Had the suspension guy retorque all of the subframe bolts. I noticed one was luce up about 1/2 way out while replacing the snow tires.
Critters are lameeee
Interested to see what they chewed
Ordered headlights. I have a problem. I'm on my 3rd set of tails and now this is my 3rd set of heads.
