Mann Filters NOW W719 vs W940!

Yeah there was a sludge problem with the longitudinally mounted 1.8Ts,
1997-2004 Audi A4s and 1998-2004 Volkswagen Passats. Something about
smaller oil pan compared to the transversally mounted 1.8Ts that
contributed to the problem. I guess the bigger oil filter is to make
up for that.
