This is starting to get away from the TIICO bit, but. . .

First off, does the diesel vanagon run the filter in the same location
as the TIICO conversion?  I ask because VW supplies the same filter for
diesel vanagons and Jetta/Rabbits.  Maybe run the diesel filter
instead?  I used to run these on my old 1835cc engines because they
wouldn't pop when the pressure got too high for the type 4 filters.

Second, the P/N of filters have changed, but not the way everyone has
mentioned.

056 115 561G:  This was made for all gas early inline w/c engines.  VW
has superceded this part to 034 115 561A.

034 115 561A:  This is used on all gas w/c inline engines until 98
(jetta/beetle/golf), 99 (passat) and up to present on cabrios (you
figure it out).  A few tech people (at VW) have told me this will be
superceded to 06A 115 561B soon.

06A 115 561:  Already superceded to 06A 115 561B.

IGS 115 561:  TIICO filter.  Not listed in VW price book, nor is it
accepted, or better yet superceded, to any other filter in ETKA.

06A 115 561B:  You guessed it, all the gas inline engines newer than the
list above.

The only differences I have seen on the 034 and the 06A is the location
of the check valve.  Why VW says to use an 034 on a 99 Passat 1.8T and
an 06A on a 99 Beetle 1.8T (exactly the same internals) is way beyond
me.

p.s.  These are for gas, inline, 4 cyl US VWs

Just for entertainment purposes.
