These filters are W 719/5 and while they will work on a Vanagon they don't
have the check valve that you need for valve clatter-free starting.  These
filters are really meant for Golf/Jetta gas engines.  The W719/12 are the
ones for the Vanagon.

The funny part is I sell these filters every day for $4.25 each (both the /5
and the /12).  This guy is auctioning these off and the bid is up to $36 plus
$6 shipping.  So right now you would be paying $4.20 each from someone you
don't know or love.  Is this a deal?

Not a flame just an observation.  Maybe I should start selling these in Ebay
:)

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
