Ive had a quick look and i notice most people are using the green panel filter, arnt these oil based filters which the 20v t engines dont like?

What filters can I use, ive ordered a green panel through my work but dont want to fit it if it causes problems..

Sorry new to the whole vag thing!

i have a 150 tdi and have recently put a green panel filter in as far as i can see the response when you push the pedal to the floor is better than with the standard filter.... the pick up at lower revs is better even though its a diesel... :funk: :funk: havent noticed any probs as yet with the maf which is what you are referring to ...

green filter is fine and wont cause you any oiling issues.
sold 100's of these

not saying a MAF wont expire on your car, cos it might as its a temperamental sensor at the best of times filing on std cars often

been using a green for yonks,on different cars,i find oiling just the underside best,the oil would have to be dragged through the filter to get anywhere near the MAF.not sure if bill/green would recommend that, but it works for me,and the can of oil in my shed is near 4 years old and i have never had a problem with MAF's etc
