I always bought Mann/Bosch filters for my T25 & I have continued to do so for my T4. I always fit good quality oil & air filters but I don't see the point in travelling an excessive distance to a VW Commercial dealer to get them.

Thats the problem..I have a loacl VW dealer round the corner, but they can't get any parts for the T25 as it is a "Comercial " vehicle and I would have to go into Manchester... :roll:

They are a pretty new company and only sell to traders then you would buy form say euro cars oarts their parts

Anyone know if Mann 719/21 is the right code for a 1,9 petrol DG- looks different to the Bosch unit I usually get and the guy at Gsf did not seem too sure. Thanks

Is it not mahle....who do filters of many kinds?

I worked at one of their sites...i think it was salisbury way.

They are tier 1 supply to many of the big boys ....their filters are considered by many to be the best.
