Replacement oil filter query

Post by mxgaza33 »

Whilst doing an oil change today on my 11' 2.0TDI I went to change the oil filter for a bosch one that was purchased online however the old and new filters have a different fittings on the end. The original has a longer end with 2 o-rings as opposed to the new which is shorter with only 1. Have they supplied the wrong one or will it still do the job?

Heres a picture of the old and new filters:
