The VAS6753 tool can be purchased from many different sources, costing anywhere from $30 to $100.
I didn't have time to wait two weeks for it to arrive from the great US of A, and I wasn't able to source it locally.
$2 solution: Took a couple of measurements, 15 minute Fusion 360 modelling and 2 hours 3D print!
Printed mine in ABS with 50% infill, 3mm wall thickness and 1.5mm top and bottom surfaces, and it's definitely strong enough.

Cool, but I have one question: who is putting your filters on that you need a wrench to remove them?!?

I've never had to use a tool to remove an oil filter, ever. They are supposed to be hand tight only.

Okay. I was thinking a spin on filter. My V6 TDI has a hex nut molded on the filter cap. I'm surprised yours doesn't have the same.

I just use a regular $8 strap wrench.
