Mann Oil Filters...

[Nivi@aol.com]

Hi everyone,

I just ordered a couple of Mann oil filters for my CoupeQ from a
list-recommended vendor, and he sent me these really *heavy* filters that
looked like they had been sprayed with black primer, then the Audi printing
was spray stenciled on it. This is different as compared to the OEM, which
has a glossy, higher quality paint job.

Another note: The backup valve in the center is definitely *not* the same as
OEM, and I'm hesitant to use them - I'm considering sending them back.

Anyone have any insight on what's going on?
