    audi 1.8T filter question

    okay, here in the UK which is the best available filter for a my01 1.8T engine? (had run about 100k miles) I've read there is a bigger size filter which might be better: 068 115 561B = big 06A 115 561B = small now what I've googled the big one is for diesel engines... thanks
