I see the same Mahle / Mann oil filters and stainer kits that fit 72-83
Air Cooled Vanagons going for a true double the VW price and Porsche
people are paying the price on E bay.
I see the same thing on CVs, Boots.
A little VW experience can go a long way in saving money on Porsche
parts.
I tend to think most Porsche owners aren't wrenching their own cars.
