So are they suggesting that you can get filters/strainers for a vdub from supercheap?

hmmm.... who puts magnatec in a beetle?? I wouldn't.

beetles dont have an oil filter. they have an oil strainer, and i cant say that you could get one off the shelf from supercheap, autobahn, or even repco.

what a load of crap.

So what your suggesting then is that it's a surprise that they didn't recommend new coolant????

You can tell how much effort has been put into that webpage by the fact that it runs a 20 second music loop, and the fact that 90% of the 'car cruelty victims' in the photos are left-hand drive! The pics are just stolen from some American website!

I bought a set of NGK plugs and asked the resident genus if they had a plug gap guage to set the gap but was reassured that there was no reason the check the gap before you installed them as they were set at the factory, he then told me that he is a mechanic and he never check's the plug gaps before he installed new plugs, maybe that's why he work's there.

mmm. Built on a beetle floor pan are they not?

You mentioned that beetles don't have oil filters, but some do. granted it is an after market system.😂

If you had said beetles didn't come factory with the filters. Then I'd have nothing to yank your chain about now would I ? 😘
Lighten up young fella. 😂
