  • T5.1/GP (2011) CFCA BiTDI Oil filter - screw-on or cartridge??

    Hi guys! I went to VW parts to get an oil filter for a 2011 T5.2 (GP) facelift Multivan with the BiTurbo engine (CFCA engine code) using it's VIN number, and they give me a cartridge filter even though the one on there is a screw-on type!

    I argued that I needed a screw-on type, and he said they all use the cartridge type now. Then he printed off a page from his ETKA, and the picture shows the screw-on type that I need! (see image below) The parts interpreter just said 'yeah the ETKA picture is wrong'. Huh?????

    The part he gave me is 03L 115 562

    My filter does not have a plastic cover with the 32mm hex nut ... it's a standard metal screw on type like cars have been using since the 1950's.

    Does anyone know the part number for the screw-on type filter for the T5.2?

    Thank you!

    Nevermind I found it, it's: 03L 115 561

    Looks like this one.

    Seems like you can also get bigger versions, see here.

    Part numbers for the bigger ('long life') one: 068 115 561 (B or F, the B is a tiny bit bigger by 2mm)
    Part number for the huge one: 074 115 561

    Jmac put one of the nice big longlife filters on my mk4 Golf last year, I always wondered where he got the big one when all VW would ever give me is the small one Kudos.

      CAn you see the part number on the installed part? (or is it inaccessible?)

      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

        I could see it if I pulled it off but then I can't drive the car Anyway I found the part number(s) see above, I might go for the bigger 'long life' version, because bigger=better, right?

          I did the oil change on the T5.2/GP biturbo, was easy as piss, didn't even need to jack the van up: 6x13mm bolts to remove the plastic underbody tray, my $10 8-Litre oil tray from supercheap fit perfectly under the sump plug, and the screw-on oil filter is easily accessible at the top front of the engine. Undoing the oil filter didn't even spill a drop of oil thanks to the upright orientation of the filter (and/or non-return valve)! Filled with 7.5L of Mobil 1 5W30 ESP VW507.00 approved oil picked up in Melbourne from this guy.
