I finally found a source for these filters, in Canada at least: Acklands has them as follows: B114 oil filter for diesel $7.12 B243 oil filter for W/B $6.98 Prices are in CDN $, and they offer a discount if you have a charge account. I'm planning to open a charge account first, then order some, so I'll let you know how they compare with the Bosch & VW OEM I'm using now. I believe Baldwin are the OEM for Amsoil filters, which along with PureOne and Mobil1 are supposed to be the best available, but Baldwin is the only one with a size to fit the VW diesel.======================== Shawn Wright Computer Systems Manager Shawnigan Lake School http://www.sls.bc.ca swright@sls.bc.ca |
