I have bben through Porsche parts supply and the porsche part is nla, so they said use the VW part 022 129 620 - thats the Part number for the 411(?) filter so I am told, but that is also nla through VW, so what are my options?

I see that auto atlanta do a cone filter for the 1.7 - Is this any good? Any mods needed or is it just bolt on & any images of it in situ?

Thanks

Maybe not desirable option but you could change to the oil bath air filter if you find nothing else.

Go to theSamba.com. Look under 411/412 parts(page 3) there were 3 NOS for sale for $40 + shipping.
