Having used WIX Filters in the past I know they're a decent filter and I still use them on my Chevy and Toyota Pickup. But I'm still partial to the OEM and stick with them on my VW's. Using a larger filter doesn't really increase the capacity all that much anyway. But for info's sake here are some P/N's: Original Filter: OE 021-115-351A WIX 51319 (I believe) Larger Filter: WIX 51515 or 51452 (51452 has a slightly larger width gasket, otherwise it's the same) You can also use the Diesel Oil Filter OE 068-115-561B which is larger than the smaller one on the 2.0. Whatever ya do stay away from Bosch Filters - they're junk (they burst when engine is cold). If using OE, use Mann or Knecht. Jim / BusBoys@aol.com
