Now that they are so inexpensively available just use them with a
cheap, low wattage, inverter.
A string of 50 LED Christmas lights uses 4.8 watts according to the box
(50 incandescents was 21 watts).
So, with a cheap 500 watt peak (350watt continuous) inverter you can run
73 strings of lights.
appropriately will go a long way to
keeping a bit of the cold out.

The one I listed from eBay in rated at 225 psi. Fine for both injected

Unfortunately, I could only find the 5.6mm line. Next size up from the
seller is 7.6mm. That means injected VW's calling for 7mm hose are SOL
at he moment.
It costs about $3.28/foot if you buy 3 meters from
If the holes aren't too torn up and you can use a nibbler to make them
square (you did say you wanted working rather than original) then
you may be able to use 12-24 or M-6 cage nuts to replace them. The M-6
is a bit larger, roughly equivalent to a 1/4-20 (.25) while the 12-24
is roughly .21.
And as soon as I can quit spending $$$ on parts that make the bus move
I'll send you one of mine for a cleanup. I was going to replace the
filter caps myself but just can't find the time.

The fact that it was 'stuck' until a bit of pressure was applied in the

You do realize that you just described the alternator/generator light

There really is no hard rule for when to replace a fuel filter. It
depends on where you live, fuel condition, weather condition, etc.
If you live in a place with lots of dust in the air or a place where
the fuel you get may be dirty right from the pump then you should

Inline fuel filters don't generally last too many years in a daily
driven VW. If you have access to an air compressor you should:
1. Drain and remove the fuel tank. Check/clean the sock filter while
you're there.
2. Remove the old fuel filter(s). If they are the
