That is the Bosch part #.  It is the same # as my original, but the
additional # was not 086, but 015.  The VW part # on mine was 811 133 511 A.
As I recall, when I first changed my filter, I had to make one change in
fittings.  I either had to discard a fitting that was on the car or I had to
discard a fitting that was on the filter.  This is the large "beer keg" filter.
Hope this helps.

So I went to my friendly VW dealer
