FAQ
How do I confirm I need the 2-hole filter?
Check your housing lid: the A-style has a star-shaped top with individual tabs for each bolt. If that matches, KX 178D is correct.
Will KX 178D fit my 2005–2013 TDI?
Yes, if you have the A-style housing on Jetta/Jetta SportWagen/Golf models with BRM/CBEA/CJAA engines. Always compare your housing style before ordering.
Are new O-rings included?
Most quality elements include required seals. Inspect the kit on arrival and replace all seals to prevent air leaks.
