Pros

Vw air filter is genuine and easy to install. Easy to remove from the car with a t25 torx driver to remove the filter housing screws. It's an air filter, what else to say?

Mann now own fram. Use these as replacement for dealership products. Top is oem, bottom is mann. Each one comes with new o-rings.



Cons

However it is about one inch too long and 1/2 inch too wide. Didn't fit my cat.
