For the short period I owned my 1.7 I never found a substitute... even called K&N and a couple of other places to see if they could match the size... no joy in Mudville.

option might be to find an "oil bath" 1.7 filter but that would be interesting because many changed to a filter with a filter element from the "oil bath" filter. did you check all the usual suspects? (auto atlanta, pelican, german parts & restor, others?)

NAPA

I have a brand new one I will sell for $10.00 + frt...Changed air intake systems and never used it...Still in the box...PM me and I will send the details...

2-OH!

Tried Napa no luck! Waste of time!

2-OH! I take it! Let me know the total including shipping to 98226. And how you would like to be payed.

I've been looking for several months with no luck either-dang, just missed a deal! Anyone else have one for sale?

the bird? -JON

edit: now I see...its NLA

Damn...Left money on the table again...

I did not know this thing was made of unobtainium...

2-OH!

While it's prolly to late ..... measure the diameter (outside to outside and inside to inside) and the height ... post it here please .... that's how you find an unobtainium filter ..... there will be one that is close enough for deutscher gubermint work.

Go to this website Champion labs. Send an email asking where to buy an AF 103 air filter and they should respond in a day or two... worked for me

According to Champion Labs the specs for AF103 are:

O.D. 8.06 in 205mm
Hgt 3.22 in 82mm
I.D. 4.94 in 125mm

Hope this helps, oh and they do have a filter finder as well.

They list the application as: Volkswagen 1973-74 Volkswagen# 022-129-620

Hope this helps. Man, I love the internet!

We have them on the shelf and ready to ship monday. We buy them from NAPA and then take them out of the box so no one will think that we are just going to NAPA to get them! However we divulge all of our secrets to the club! NAPA NAPA that is where we get them. They are a great fit.

George, have you got a NAPA part # for them?

that gives it away right there: 1.8 and 2.0! They are square!

not today. have a bunch without boxes! (of course) our parts man will be back monday and he knows the napa number.

It's MONDAY! I, for one, am ready for that number ..................

The Cap'n

I am waiting to George, Please, what's the NAPA part #???

Hi George, Please let us know the NAPA part# is for the 1.7L stock air filter???

It's almost Wednesday, and still no part number ...................... The Cap'n

From George's post it seems to me that he thinks the 1.7L filter is the same as the 1.8 or 2.0.

Now why in the world would George give the part number out... so we can from NAPA instead of him???

That would not make sense... anyway when I had my 1.7 I checked AA and they did not have them. Maybe a temp thing dunno

I purchased one about a year ago from Stable Energies , for $15. Bob did mention he had more sitting on the shelf. Worth a try....

Why? Because he said he would. I am beginning to think, however, that what he said may not mean what we thought it did. He actually said his parts guy has the number, he never said he'd actually give it to us.

"However we divulge all of our secrets to the club! NAPA NAPA that is where we get them."

Well, 'SOME' secrets, anyway. Oh well, off to NAPA today ................ I have a used filter and housing for them to play with. If I get a number, you can be sure I'll pass it on. The Cap'n

THANKS! My customers thank you, as well. The Cap'n

Thanks 'Doc'...

Hi to all, Thanks george you came through!!! I have one on order with NAPA. In my travels on the net I also found that a Bosch 73349 that was sold to me by 2-OH, is still sold by German auto parts for VW's. Also I emailed K&N about their custom build program and I am going to email them the spec's Tomorrow. I will give updates in a future post.

Bill, Have you tried the Filter Hotline on the Champion website? I tried it myself this afternoon and they have already given me a person to contact in this area. The Champ filters are a perfect fit and appear to be good quality.

When we got to NAPA today, the 2909 was an obvious loser. The 2110 fits, but offers FAR less filter in terms or square inches of media. We'll use it until we find something more like the original. We're workin' on it! The Cap'n
