This is starting to get away from the TIICO bit, but. . . First off, does the diesel vanagon run the filter in the same location as the TIICO conversion? I ask because VW supplies the same filter for diesel vanagons and Jetta/Rabbits. Maybe run the diesel filter instead? I used to run these on my old 1835cc engines because they wouldn't pop when the pressure got too high for the type 4 filters. Second, the P/N of filters have changed, but not the way everyone has mentioned. 056 115 561G: This was made for all gas early inline w/c engines. VW has superceded this part to 034 115 561A. 034 115 561A: This is used on all gas w/c inline engines until 98 (jetta/beetle/golf), 99 (passat) and up to present on cabrios (you figure it out). A few tech people (at VW) have told me this will be superceded to 06A 115 561B soon. 06A 115 561: Already superceded to 06A 115 561B. IGS 115 561: TIICO filter. Not listed in VW price book, nor is it accepted, or better yet superceded, to any other filter in ETKA. 06A 115 561B: You guessed it, all the gas inline engines newer than the list above. The only differences I have seen on the 034 and the 06A is the location of the check valve. Why VW says to use an 034 on a 99 Passat 1.8T and an 06A on a 99 Beetle 1.8T (exactly the same internals) is way beyond me. p.s. These are for gas, inline, 4 cyl US VWs Just for entertainment purposes. Mongo only pawn in game of life. Rennie VolksDragon@earthlink.net Los Angeles Peyton Cramer VW |
