Hi All,



I am new to the list and had a couple technical questions.



First off, does anyone have the part number for the correct oil filter
for the 1.9? The guy at the VW dealership pulled out this really long
filter that didn't look like it would fit, and being 20 bucks, I figured
I would ask before buying it.



Also, does anyone have a general idea about how much refrigerant came in
the AC in these things? I am wanting to recharge mine (and replace the
high side hose that split on the engine cab (hm, will have to put some
kind of guard on that.)



One last thing.how about coolant type? What type of coolant should I use
in this? I have seen several different opinions, but don't have an
owners manual so am kind of lost. HELP! I don't want to have that head
gasket leak problem because of using the wrong coolant!!!



Thanks in advance!!!



Dave
