Actually, it is in the archives. Bosch's oil filters are not even made by Bosch; they are US-made off-the-shelf Frams etc. relabeled as Bosch. Bosch is not an original supplier of oil filters to Volkswagen, and merely rebrands someone else's filter in order to fill out their line. Only Mann and Mahle/Knecht are the "real thing." I sell them for $4.29 each (watercooled) or $3.99 each (aircooled), minimum purchase 4. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. http://www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW |
