The larger oil filter...
So I came across a few things while searching which indicate that there is in fact a larger filter available for the 1.8T engine.
The link below is to the PureMS website and the filter in question. I don't know the VW part number, but you can bet that I'll be making the switch during my next oil change.I doubt there's a noticeable difference in temperatures, but of course having more oil and a cooler engine is always better.
The question is, has anyone tried this?<ul><li><a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=569">http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=569</a></li></ul>

Have fun fitting it in and getting it out if you actually can fit it in......
VERY tight fit in there and since the TT already has a capacity of near 5 quarts - it's really not necessary. They switched to this filter on the longitudinal 1.8T's because they had a capacity of 3.7 quarts.

I was gonna say this - definitely on the short list of mods to get done....
especially with the hot weather and track days looming ahead. I need to get more info on this from you :-)
