I ordered a fuel filter filter for the 98 NB from vwparts.com, and they sent a Mann WK 853/5. It was $22 -- not bad. But does anyone know if the Mann's any good? It says Micro Top on the box, for whatever that's worth. I haven't seen Mann mentioned as a fuel filter brand in this forum.
Also, I was going to fill it with lubro moly diesel purge when I put it on, but unlike the cartridge fuel filters of yesteryear's diesels, it doesn't come apart. There are all these tiny hose fittings on top, but it would be impossible to pour anything in there. I can take off the water drain on the bottom, but I can't fill it while it's upside down.
