What is the proper Bosch oil filter for the 2.1 l WBX? Reason I ask, is I got one from my local favourite VW parts store, and it didn't list a Bosch, so they ordered in a Mann filter (# W719/12), which is a good filter, but it cost me $16!!! The local FLAPS (not VW shop) says the filter for my 98 4-cyl Golf (Bosch # 72150) is also for the Vanagon. I don't believe that (but it would be nice since they're only 5 bucks each). The filters (Mann and the Bosch one for my Golf) look the same, and are the same size, but other than that, I'm not going to say they're the same! I saw somewhere that the proper filter is a Bosch 71028. Is that correct? Help the kid out! Keith Adams Calgary, Alberta, Canada 1986 Vanagon GL Westfalia / 1998 Golf Wolfsburg Edition
