7A and ABY oil filter question.

[John.]

Are they the same filter???.......other than the part no?!
I was looking here..... http://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+cou...115-115030/#22

7A part no. is 056 115 561 G

ABY part no's 06A 115 561 B and 034 115 561 A

Only reason I'm asking as I have 2 that I bought for my 7A engine CQ, and it'd save me going out to buy another for S2 ABY.

Thanks in advance.

John.

Hi,
my catalog says that oil filters in 7a and ABY are the same.

Thanks, I thought they would be and the different numbers are perhaps if they're branded Audi or VW ?..........anyone else have any info?

I looked into the two Mann filters before 719/5 and 719/30. The /5 listed for 10v motors and the /30 being for 20v applications. The only difference i could see in the datasheets was the the /30 had better filtering, but the bypass valve opened at the same pressure rating so they are interchangeable.

I cant find a link to the datasheets, just these product pages which don't list the micron filtering level.

So the 20v filter would be an upgrade for a KV/NG engine.

Yup. There is also a few diesel variants which are huge big cans, but i haven't looked into those. e.g. would be the C4 2.5 TDi

056 has valve towards the top when looking into filter, and 06A has the valve to the bottom. I had an 056 in the garage that I thought may fit that A3 but when I saw it was different, never took the chance [emoji1360]
