Default Definitely not from my local dealership...

...I bought 10 @ ~$46/each. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the bill.

I guess I'm set for now, but would love to know where folks are getting their stuff from.

Default $46 each!?! that's a typo, right? I go

to the local Volkswagen dealership and they charge around $17 (it's the same filter as the Touareg 4.2 FSI engine uses)

Default Yeah, I thought you'd like that.

FWIW - When I questioned the service manager about the accuracy of this part (079 198 405 B), he did mention something about them being new, redesigned...or something. Can anyone confirm?

Rergardless, my Porsche/Mann filters are only ~$15/per.

Default 079-198-405-B @ $13.50 ea. plus shipping for one case of 12 Oil filters

autopartsnationwide.com

shipping was $35

It's the same filter as in the Q7


Carson at Riverside Audi should also be able to give you a good price.

Default Thanks guys, especially RI RS4...

my dealer charged me $36 for the last filter. B as in B. S as in S. Also have the 4.2 Q7, so a case will keep me on the go for sometime.

I suppose I need crush gaskets, too.

Default It's a cartridge filter that fits into a housing in the motor

There is no larger filter.
