Anyone had/heard of problems with these oil filters? Just got a Repco one for my BKD and have just been told they can have issues collapsing and I should stick with OEM or Mann...

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Heard similar things. But don't have any experience with them. Are they that much cheaper than oem?

It’s not that they’re cheaper - just easier to get. I wanted to service this weekend and repco were the only one that stocked a filter to fit in town. Otherwise it’s a 140km round trip just for a filterComment

Stick with the better ones I used to use Ryco years ago until I cut a Toyota one and a Ryco one apart . Never bought another RycoOriginally posted by wedgetail84 View Post2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

Put your oil change off until next weekend and order your filters from these guys: Oil Filter HU719/7x MANN-FILTER for Audi Skoda VW | Run Auto Parts They stock all the OEM brands like Mann, Hengst etc. The filter linked above is apparently the correct one for a 2007 Golf TDI. I found this place 3 or 4 years ago and have been buying all my filters from them since.Originally posted by wedgetail84 View PostLast edited by Lucas_R; 15-05-2020, 09:22 AM.Comment

Good recommendation regarding run auto. I was also after a filter and they seem cheaper than spares box too [emoji106]

Alright I’m sufficiently offput - going to return the repco today. My wife is now going to Bathurst tomorrow so will pick up a filter from VW, turns out it’s $10 cheaper than Repco trade, wtf...
Runauto look good but just done an order with eurorevolution he seems like a good bloke that knows what he’s talking about. Very good prices tooLast edited by wedgetail84; 15-05-2020, 01:51 PM.Comment

I'm not one to bag products usually. But any dramas I have at work it's with Ryco . Mk6 GTIs in particular. The threaded section stays in the filter housing and the contents of the filter run down the alternator. Must be 75 percent of them do it.
Other Ryco inserts all look like they've been sucked in. They don't hold their shape. Not sure of its a bad design or they just don't flow? Mahle, Hengst, Mann .
All cheaper than Ryco in my experience too.Comment

Nice prices there at RunAuto, what about their oil?

I’ve hardly any experience with Ryco - I’ve been using Donaldson pretty exclusively apart from Cat and a some random OEM stuff, never had any issues they’re all top. But no Donaldson for VWs... Don’t want to find out the hard way with Ryco or repco I’ll just avoid them.
ive just got a bottle of Edge LL too - hopefully it’s food stuff as I get it trade...Comment

The Castrol is on sale at SCA for $55.29 this weekend. I only buy when on sale.
I've been using Ryco for a long time, I have the insert type so can see what is going on. Never seen one deformed.
I might switch to Mann via Run auto next year, I bought Ryco filter months ago when on sale also, oil change due in about 3 weeks.
Check (if you live in usa): Weekly Circulars, or Repco Catalogue.Last edited by h100vw; 12-09-2020, 02:28 AM.MK4 GTI - Sold
