Ron (and Vanagon list):

I discovered, when I held up the VW (which I bought in a better-safe-than-sorry
panic) and Mann filters side by side that they look almost indentical inside,
and I knew that my fears were unfounded.

I hope I didn't sound like I was questioning the professional judgement of the
Bus Depot.  Even if it had been the wrong filter-- heck, everyone makes
mistakes and ultimately the _installer_ of the part should not be acting in
blind faith, but should be absolutely sure that what's being installed is the
correct part.  But it is the right part, and once again I am a satisfied
customer.
'nuff said.
