Please forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place.
I am hoping someone can help me. I purcahsed a 2013 Jetta TDI two years ago. The dealer had just changed the oil and filter. One year later, about 8k miles, I changed my oil and filter. The filter, a Mann filter, had torn filter media. It had about a 1/4 inch tear in one of the filter folds, just about in the middle of the fold. I figured the dealer installed the filter wrong so put in a new filter and oil. I just did my second oil change and there were three separate 1/8 inch holes in tdifferent folds of the filter media.
I am thinking the oil pressure might be set too high, but I dont know how to check it through the computer, or how to adjust it. I guess I could plumb in a direct read gauge but still dont know how to adjust it if it is high.
Any other ideas or suggestions? I also used a Mann oil filter cartridge for my oil change. I find it hard to believe I had two defective Mann filters purchased from different places over a year apart. I did ask Mann if they have any suggestions but havent heard back,
