This link which has lots of info gives detail on how to change filter-fair way down page Item 2.12

You should get a copy of John Muirs Book- How to Keep your Volkswagen Alive

http://thekombikonnection.myfreef...t526.html&highlight=john+muir


Thank you, that will be super helpful! I'll be ordering the Muirs book in the next few weeks, I've been told constantly that I need to get it.

You wouldn’t believe it; running low on fuel and it’s raining, pull into a servo and can only get an outside pump. So I brave the elements and grab a nozzle and hide down behind the back as it fills, 16 litres into the fill I realise “NO” I’ve grabbed the DIESEL hose. Can’t drop the fuel there and I’m quite a way from home so I fill with unleaded, and rush home, drop all the fuel and rinse out the tank. Lesson learnt cost me about $60.
