Hi folks,

Not quite the same thing but my problem was very similar
I have and 82 with an 89 Jetta motor (My dieselfant II :oD)
Which did the same thing.  I poked around a bit and was
just about to go back to the diesel filter  (which is substantially
larger and by dint of the size always had enough oil in it)
when I ran across the latest greatest Purolator filter.  Which
for about 5-6 bucks a filter has this cute little valve in a decent
full steel (not fram) filter. I believe it's called the pureone filter
here's the official brag sheet from them.

If you're in a higher tax bracket you might consider checking out
the K&N, same thing basically except about 10-12 bucks a pop
around here.
Personally I'm a cheap bastard so I'll stick with the Purolator.

Tromper
82 Dieselfant II
