the filter i believe is  the same for the AC vanagons and is  available
from fram  and purolator and mahle.  van-again, busboys, busdepot, pep
boys, napa etc.  BTW, vw never made the filter, bosch and mahle were
the oem suppliers.  dealers just no longer stock  the item.   they
order  it as needed through the commercial  desk at the local flaps.
you  will get the same at the dealership  for whatever brand US vehicle
you  get  as well when it gets over 5 years old. but with no  support
group to  assist in locating parts.
