Bu7tyboy 1 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Recently I noticed that my high pressure oil sensor was seaping oil so thought best swap it out before I knew it I'd bought myself a full service set, in the process of changing the oil filter I was surprised to find the GSF had supplied me with a filter that looked different to the one coming out it was an all metal type with a gauze in one end. It fit into the housing fine. Started the engine and let it idle for a minute. All good. Soon as I drove the car the oil pressure warning system, piped up with the beep beep beep. So figured I'd go to VW for parts and they supplied me with the filter that came out they said there are two different types so just be careful :-) Edited January 14, 2017 by Bu7tyboy Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yeah, I have also been supplied the wrong one in the past - gotta be carful I removed my old one before I nipped down ECP to get a new one. Link to post Share on other sites
red_rocket 10 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Indeed - me too. ECP now have the correct listing on their website for the Golf VR6. 1995-1998 is the plastic one with the large internal diameter (AAA?) Earlier is the metal one. Peter Link to post Share on other sites
