Oem oil filters from vw isn't that much more than after market filters.....Actually cheap from vw.

There were 2 types of filters for those engines or so I was told. Need to ensure you have the right one.

Get the z567 GUD filter you will be fine. If you put the old filter you had back on the problem should go away. If not then the problem is not your new filter but something else.

go to the shop and give them your vin number. thats all you must do. or put in your old filter and make sure the new one you buy looks like the old one.

I couldn't wait to come and give feedback on this, I bought an oil filter from vw and it did wonders, no more oil light, I took a very long test drive, thank you so much for the help, this was a lesson to me, buying genuine parts is the wayImage
