If I was to replace mine it would be a DMF. There are legitimate engineering reasons for the manufacturers using them, & carmakers are all for making their products cheaper & not installing components that aren't necessary particularly when the new buyer can't see it. The original designer LUK started supplying the DMF in the mid 90s & have so ever since. It's not just VW that use them. I know Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat, Lancia, Mercedes, Volvo & Subaru use them in their diesels & probably many others.

Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
