Thanks for the tip, Bryan! This is quite interesting... I looked in Bill & Steves pages, but there was no pic«s, just part no and description. I quote: "000-091-521 VW Factory Accessory To Install a Bypass type spin on oil filter on a Type III (Rabbit oil filter will work as replacement), $50.00" Has anyone seen, or tried out these parts? Where might a picture and closer description be found? Was thinking about my earlier question... there seems to be two different solutions on the market, for the filter-in-sump technique. Either a little housing with a paper (or wash-and-reuse) filter inside, that replaces the original oil screen and cover, or a complete extra oil sump attached to the oil screen hole under the engine, with a filter arrangement inside it, as described above. This has the benefit of keeping a larger volume of oil in the crankhouse, which can be needed when using a high volume pump. But what might happen when the filter starts getting clogged with dirt? Will I loose oil flow to the pump? Is there some kind of security by-pass valve? Will I get satisfactory oil flow at all when using a high volume pump? As I understand it, he oil has to be sucked through the filter instead of pushed trough, as in the external filter assembly. Godders! This is getting complicated... Can anyone help me with my thoughts?
