I have seen postings on this forum for a replacement fuel filter that is better than the stock VW filter. But now I can't find it. Does anyone know which filter to use? Thanks.

What I remember seeing was a filter that I could buy at the local parts store that was for a another diesel application like a small tractor or something. I remember that it was the same diameter but slightly longer.

Yes the CAT filter is just a wee bit larger in diamater and a little bit longer. I can be bought at any Truck servicing center or CAT service center for about $10. The adapter required to make it work was developed by Greg Landuyt of www.lubespecialist.com fame.

I have one on my car and it holds up really well and you can go more miles than the stock if you are getting good quality fuel.

I believe, however, that the Cat filter does not have a water extractor. Not necessarily a big deal, just want you to be informed.
