I have been happy with filters from
www.thepartsbin.com
or
www.busdepot.com
with the parts bin you can get free shipping for order
over 50 dollars
   You may want to order new o-rings for the drain
plug.    I find it interesting that vw no longer sells
the 0-ring for the smaller plugs (for passats) but
forces you to buy the entire drain plug????
   Since I have the larger plug I am uncertain if
busdepot sells the o-rings by themselves.   Ron from
busdepot is just cagey enough to fill that gap.

The one that impresses me and I use is the Purolator
Pure One filter.  A local parts place had several cut
open.  The quality of the materials and assembly is
noticeably better.  They are priced about like the
dealer filter.
