Just as an FYI I thought I would share some info that could possibly save you some money.
VWAG specifies at least two different PNs for OIL filters depending on application
for MK7 Golf 1.8T - PN 06K 115 562 (approx $11 CAD before taxes)
for MK7 GTI / R - PN 06L 115 562 (approx $18 before taxes at dealer)
When I did an oil change on my 1.8T I had an oil filter I had previously bought for my R, so I used this filter. Same dimensions, same MANN PN HU6002
But moving forward I will be purchasing the the less expensive filter to use in both my MK7s. Aside from PN the only difference immediately apparent is country of origin - 06K is Hecho en Mexico, whereas the 06L i had says Made in Chech Republic (which is basically the Mexico of Europe anyways
)
* Disclaimer - if you attempt to use the 'cheaper' filter specified for the lowly Golf 1.8T in your GTI / R it most surely will throw a TD1 and probably grenade your engine, you've been warned.
ps - cross-referencing MANN HU6002 shows this filter is compatable with a host of VWAG products including A3/S3/Golf 1.8T/GTI/R etc..
If anyone knows of a reason why you would not want to interchange 06K and 06L please speak up. i.e. you take your car in for warranty work and they find you substituted 06K for 06L to save a few bucks and they void your engine warranty lol
