Important: This is the B-style “1-hole” element. Identify by a bat-wing top with two side tabs (2 bolts) and one single-bolt tab. If your lid is star-shaped with a tab at each bolt, you have the A-style (“2-hole”) and need the other element. Always verify by housing style before ordering.

FAQ
Is this the “1-hole” or “2-hole” filter?
This is the late-style “1-hole” (B-style) element. Check the housing lid shape and bolt layout to confirm.
Will it fit my 2010–2013 Golf/Jetta CJAA?
Yes—CJAA common-rail models with the B-style housing use KX 228D.
What are the dimensions/specs?
Approx. 115.6 mm height, 83.0 mm diameter, 18.4 mm inner Ø. Designed to meet or exceed OE filtration performance.
How do I know if I need the A-style filter instead?
If your lid is star-shaped with a tab at each bolt (not the bat-wing), that’s the A-style (“2-hole”) housing—order that element instead.
