1.9 Tdi Oil filter element. Which way up does it go?

[speedmachine]

I changed the oil on my Mk4 Golf 1.9 Tdi but I keep wondering if I put the oil filter in the correct way or not. I forgot to check the old one before taking it off. The filter element is the same on the outside but the intside is different at each end.

Does anyone know which side actually goes on the top and does it make a difference?

Thanks

should`nt make any difference , but check theres no plastic insert left in the housing after you took the old filter out , if so use a long nose plier and just pull it out ....
