dear old parts
wow ... i had no idea it was so complex ...
wow ...
what i do know is that any vw or auto haus shop i was in in usa could not
find parts for my van
and even this version of etka shows my breather has being flat ... when
indeed it is very round ...
i got a refill at a tractor supply store in ohio
and simply replaced my factory fuel filter which has in and out on canister
as factory molded rather than fittings with ... a marine one
kept the other for future reference ...
but what really excited me is the industrial diesel engine information
which is what my California seems to have for OEM power
the v belt sizing information will prove to be invaluable ...
that so far has been my weakest link ...
yours
