| Thanks Applegreenvw. That’s what I thought. Why would that be used on a type4 engine? Very interesting. I’ve never seen one used on a type4 engine. What am I missing here? |
Looks like the same part is use on type 4 air filter housing.

Nice, now I get it. You just blew my mind. 73-74 style air cleaner. Amazing I haven’t seen this mentioned in the bay forums. My 72 bus would’ve been oil bath. And the 76 bus obviously didn’t have that. Thank you for the education.

Did you buy the Volvo part? If so, did it fit and work right?

That is a great find! Hoping they function at similar temperatures as the ones for a '72-74 Beetle.

Bump.
The two I ordered arrived today. Has anybody actually installed them yet? They're about 2mm longer than the VW one. Edges can be ground down to fit of course, but wondering.
