The first hit for that part number on google is bus depot. That is indeed the OEM part # for all Vanagons with 1.9 and 2.1 WBX engines. Bus Depot cautions that some after market manufacturers sell a similar looking filter that is for the Golf/Jetta and is not to be used on 1.9/2.1 WBXs as it causes oil starvation on start up.


Confirm that is indeed a VW/Audi, Mann, or Mehle branded part and you've hit a jackpot.
