All I have found is one site offering them for a 1.9 tdi. even if they are they same and that valve would work, they want $40 for one. anyone know where they are available?

you mean the plastic thing that fits in the filter from the return line like tdi's have?

yea, my MK2 has one, for the preheating at the fuel filter. i know they are the same, the TDI one and the one I need but seriously, 40 for what is in essence a PCV valve?? that a little outrageous to me...

you can use an earlier style filter and omit it

that's what I'll be doing. I'm going to install a mk1 style because I hate distrubing the lines every filter change. Or I'll go after market, I haven't decided yet.
