....
If you've got a Carbonio then your filter is likely to be a Pipercross. If it's a VW stock paper filter, just buy another one everytime you have the car serviced.
I've got a Carbonio plus an ITG foam filter which comes pre-oiled and just needs hoovering when car is serviced. After it has done about 60k miles I'll buy a new one.
