I have the oil drained, old oil filter off, and I'm  lookin' at the new
filters
that were sent to me from the Bus Depot:  the old and the new look
different!
The coil inside the old one is much closer to the top than that of the new
filter.  Do I have the wrong replacement filter?  the numbers are:


old filter:  Bosch 72150


new filter:  Mann  719/12


Not to worry. The Mann 719/12 (or the Mahle OC108) is the actual O.E.
replacement filter for the Vanagon.  Bosch is not an original-equipment oil
filter supplier to Volkswagen (and in fact does not even make their own oil
filter), so while the Bosch may fit the Vanagon, the Manns I sent are
actually closer to original.
