The Merkur XR4Ti (funky German Ford) uses the same basic air meter as
Digifant.
The difference is the Merkur unit has a round outlet adapter that bolts to
the square bolt pattern.

Find an XR4 in the junkyard and pillage said part.

I may have a spare if you can't find one.

As the subject says... I have 2.0 inline-4 VW conversion in my Doka. The AFM
has been giving me problems for various reasons. I suspect
one problem is the Digifant AFM was plastic welded onto a stock Golf airbox.
The welding job was not exactly the greatest. This is the way
it came in the used conversion package.

I have seen K&N cone filters on other Vanagons with Digifant but can't
recall who makes them. These should be the same ones used on
Golfs and Jettas. I have seen the ones on Ebay but those are for the later
model AFM's. The one I need adapts the square intake of the
Vanagon AFM to a round tube on a K&N or similar system. The common Ebay
variety goes from round tube to round tube.

Looking for leads either new or used.


TIA,
