The Passat is my first go around with a cartridge filter an i've never experienced fitment issues with spin on's. During my recent oil change i purchased a NapaGold 100024 (made by Mann Hummel). The filter looked well made, but when i tried to fit it over the valve in the bottom half of the housing after seating it in the cap, it wouldn't fit unless i applied excessive pressure. The factory filter was much easier. I removed the NG because it bothered me last night, and put in an OEM 06K-115-562
Is this a one-off or is this a real issue with aftermarket cartridge filters to some extent?
