I have a 2016 GTI and the filter is completely different. As you can see in the attached image, the dark (used) filter is much longer than the filter that comes with this kit. The filter in the machine has holes at each end. The filter included in the kit has a hole in one end only. So in the middle of my oil change I had to drive 20 miles to my local dealer to get the right filter for my oil change. Also, I extracted about 2 1/2 liters of oil, and this kit only comes with 2 liters. So I needed extra oil. The dealer kit contains 3 liters of oil and oil scraper rings for the filter. Definitely not a big deal - even if the filter fits.
