Highly unlikely to pay more. VAG filtration product is just re-branded M&H/Bosch, which is available through Imparts anywayOriginally posted by Transporter View Post

Yes, I know that VW doesn't make their filters. But, I can't get a better price for oil filters for late model VAG cars from HSY and I didn't try Imparts yet. The oil filter for Touareg and MK5TDI was always cheaper from the dealer. It may be a bit different in the case of older cars. Also I haven't noticed BOSCH branding on any oil filter for late model cars, they're all Mahle, Knecht, M&H or Purflux.Originally posted by Valver. View PostHighly unlikely to pay more.

Thanks everyone. I'll go to Essendon VW tomorrow morning. Do they sell 36mm oil filter socket as well in the dealership? I went to supercheap, bunnings, repco, image autoparts. None of them had it.2012 SKODA OCTAVIA RS 147TSIComment

They do, but you'll pay handsomely for it.
Better off ring Repco, and ordering one in.'07 Transporter 1.9 TDI

i order my stuff online from US or UK. Much cheaper than dealers is Aust given i order a few at a time and i have 2 cars.
just google, there are many sites as long as you know the part number you are looking for.
you'll be surprised the amount you'll save on parts.
most cases over 50%.Comment

I suppose the only problem would be when there is a warranty claim. The leaking oil filter has a potential to seriously damage the engine and the USA or UK is quite far. For that reason most workshops would use a local supplier. I had 2x leaking oil filter in past 15 years, luckily the engine was fine since the customer noticed it before he run out of the oil in the sump. I was fully reimbursed by the oil filter supplier, though I wouldn't like to chase the claim in the USA.Originally posted by minircc View Post
It's something to keep in mind when you buy parts of the ebay or from OS.Performance Tunes from $850Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 LinkComment

thanks Transporter, for highlighting the risks involved as everyone needs to be aware.
Kann, check my other post for part# (but that's just for my car)
You'll have to call VW parts if you have a different car.

FYI: That's because most Bosch filters are made by M&H and not all will be rebranded for the OE market (though, many still are depending on our stock).

So, they're M&H filters then. Aren't they?Originally posted by Valver. View PostFYI: That's because most Bosch filters are made by M&H and not all will be rebranded for the OE market (though, many still are depending on our stock). This only happens for aftermarket and OES in most cases
