Fancy using a K&N oil filter and notice this one is used by 1.8T but not listed for the LCR, anyone know if it can be used?
I wouldn't feck about using filters that might not work. The OEM one does and has continued to work on my car for 6 years and 100,000 miles.
Why do you want to run a K&N one?
Have you heard there will be benefits?

Take a look at this thread, this was the results from my car with Millers XF longlife oil and OEM VAG oil filter.
The oil was actually CLEANER for being in my engine for 6,000 miles than it was when it came out of the factory, FACT.
Now, I don't know anything about the K&N filter but I have been in hydraulics for 14 years. You cannot get increase flow and filtration. Increase fitlration will give you a bigger back pressure, increase flow can only be created by filtering with bigger meshed elements, therefore less filtering.

So are the OEM ones.
Sorry but cannot see the need for uprating something thats doing a perfect job as it is.
Each to their own of course

I know, but if you don't have a VAG dealership anywhere near you then obtaining an OEM one is a PITA! I buy my oil and filters from Opie Oils, and I've used the K&N ones too, never had a problem, never used OEM ones for years either!
That's fair enough.
