Hi,

 

Ordering when using my vehicle registration I keep getting the wrong oil filter.

 

First time I thought it was the seller so asked my wife to pick one up as she passes GFS on the way home. Again the wrong filter.

 

I ended up going to Halfords and checking all the boxes until I found the right one.

 

This is the old correct filter.

 

 

 

And this are the two wrong filters.

 

 

 

 

Can someone tell me why I keep getting the wrong oil filter when using the vehicle registration.

 

The engine should be a 1.8 TSI of 160bhp. Is that correct for this type of filter.

 

Thanks,

 

Kev.

Try using the VIN or the engine code instead of the registration number?

Have you checked on a couple of filter manufacturer's web cat like Mahle and also Mann to see which one they suggest?

 

Plus find out the correct VW Group part number and see which ones match that. (ie as above, use your VIN and engine code when searching)

Hi,

 

The VIN is TMBAK61Z4A2082223.

 

The engine code is CDAA.

 

 

 

 

 

Can anyone tell me correct part number?

 

What I don't understand is if I search for the oil filter on any parts supplier database by using the Make, Model and selecting the engine they all come up with the wrong part.

 

Thanks,

 

Kev.

Don't bother doing this.

I've solved my problem.

 

It's not clear in the top image but in the orignal high resolution image that oil filter is a Mann W719/45.

 

The Mann W719/45 oil filter has a male fitting just like the top bottom two oil filters and as specified for a CDAA engine and even all generations of the 1.8tsi EA888 engine with a spin on oil filter. North America engines use a filter insert in a filter housing.

 

I am certain the male fitting has separated from the filter so now it appears the correct filter has a female fitting.

 

Has anyone heard of this before?

No, but I am certain that there is a picture of the block missing from your OP.

06J 115 403Q 

£14.40 + VAT across a dealership parts counter.

Google images of that confirm that it includes the male threaded part. So yes, yours has left that part behind in the engine upon removal.

I have no experience of that particular filter but perhaps I could make a common sense observation....................

 

The male threaded protrusion has a hexagon inside suggesting to me that it can be removed for use on engines like yours which requires a female threaded filter or left in place for those requiring a male threaded one.

 

Another possibility is that the mating face on the engines filter housing has a male threaded "nipple" (plumbing term) which should remain in place but perhaps sometimes gets unscrewed and thrown away with the old filter so the manufacturer includes the part with the replacement filters.

 

Playing devils advocate if the above is correct I would have expected the nipple to have not been pre-fitted to the filter but I suspect packaging constraints dictated that it should be to prevent possible damage in transit.

 

Try seeing if your new filter will fit after removing the part.

I had not seen Petes post, mystery solved, do not try my suggestion, remove the old part first.
