Default mann oil filter model oem size w930/21 larger w940/25 supposedly the 1.8t used the small filter but

1.8t's had low oil pressure and produced sludge so they switched to a larger oil filter and more oil to build up oil pressure.

i have not changed my oil yet but hopefully the larger oil filter will not hit anything upon installation, i dont think it will but ive yet to try. i have heard people on here talk about larger filters so perhaps this is it.

i can see why the larger one is cheaper, since theres alot more 1.8t driving around.
