Further to the W 719/30 "30,000 km filter", I found this on a website (http://www.volksparts.com/filters.htm) Alistair --------------- Doug Hamilton sent Mann an email concerning the W719/25 and W719/30 filters. He got the following response: October 2000 Product Information Volkswagen / Audi and Mercedes-Benz Dear Customer, We would like to inform you about the new long life Volkswagen/Audi spin-on oil filters W 719/30 and W 930/21. Due to increased maintenance intervals for new Volkswagen / Audi applications MANN+HUMMEL developed and introduced the above mentioned Long life-Filters. Both filters come equipped with a new advanced filter media that allows the increase of service intervals paralleled with better filter efficiency, especially when using synthetic oils. Both filters are also equipped with new high quality rubber parts to uphold the longer service intervals. They are also resistant against the new generation of synthetic oil. Please see the car owner's manual for the service intervals, which applies for the specific car. MANN+HUMMEL (better known with itıs brand MANN-FILTER) is 100% OEM supplier for both filters for the Volkswagen/Audi-group. Please note the following supercessions: Our W 719/30 (06A 115 561B) supercedes our W 719/25 (034 115 561A) Our W 930/21 (078 115 561J) supercedes our W 940/9 (078 115 561D) For detailed applications see our 2000 Automotive Filter Catalog For Passenger Cars. Also, please see attached our new Additions to our catalog. Here you will find the filter equipment for the new Mercedes-Benz C-class. If you have any questions please let us know. Sincerely, Jurgen Englmaier Manager Aftermarket ------------------------- |
