>>I don't understand your reference to only finger-tightening oil
filters!!!  My source in Dusseldorf has informed me that it is
imperative to torque Vanagon 1.9/2.1L engines' oil filters to 2.2 ft-lbs
of torque.  How does one do THAT with simple "finger-tightening"???

Hello there, my first post on the Vanagon list, so exciting!


On a EuroVan, (EV's are welcome here, right?? - haven't seen much) the
filter has a 30mm socket fitting on it, much more than 2.2 ft-lbs is
recommended.  VW filter, part # 074 115 561, specifies 14 ft-lbs.  Much
more than finger tight!


Crunch rings,
