Oil filter query for A3 8V

[Alan999]

i tried searching for 'oil filter' as a string but came back with massive amount of threads all with 'oil' and 'filter' but not the full tag so here goes..
got a sealey to get the oil out of a previous mutt so gonna use it again but any recommendations for filter choices??
is amazon worth a punt to find a decent one or go halfrauds??

And, based on previoous experience with italian engine filters i guess there is a difference in spring power and such so are there any to avoid?? Much appreciated, Al

I would buy the OEM filter from Audi. Just phone up your local dealer, asks for spares dept and they will look up the correct filter. Alternatively, Eurocarparts often has discounts on oil and air filters and you can search on your car reg. I assume you meant tfsi although a 1.4 “fist” sounds intriguing!!! Opie oils are much cheaper than Halfrauds for oil.

No problem. I also use a Sealey oil extractor. Nice way to do the job.

Mahle = top quality. Many BMW filters are dual branded BMW/Mahle

I got genuine Audi oil filters (A3 8V 150tdi) on eBay via Shrewsbury Audi for a little over £6 each.
