Hi, pipercross is the preferred option because its not oiled like he K&N. this oil can damage the maf as it gets sucked into the engine.

I think all Golf 1.8t filters are the same size. I believe that the R32 is the same size also.

Pipercross foam is what you want, they are non oiled and will cause less MAF issues in the long run.

Whilst on this subject, the pipercross manual state that when you come to clean the filter you should also oil it.

Is this a load of tosh? If so whats the best way to clean it?

No mate the Pipercross filters for VAG cars have a different foam structure?.. so don't need oil, if you oil it you risk killing the MAF
