The Heavy Duty syncro filter that Raul is referring to is the one that I am blowing out for $16.95. It actually fits standard 2wd Vanagons as well, from '86-on. This is the same genuine VW filter that sells the Dealer sells for about $130. It is one serious air filter. When you get one you'll see what I mean, although Raul described it pretty well. I have sold a lot of them, but frankly this is such a good filter for so little money that everybody who owns an '86 or newer Vanagon would be crazy not to stock up on one or two of them while they're still available. These probably originally cost more to manufacture than the $16.95 I'm selling them for. They're on the Bargains page of the website. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com |
