Because Details Matter
When Volkswagen built these upright engines, air filtration was more than a detail—it was mission critical. A cracked or missing air hose can leave your carburetor exposed to unfiltered debris, compromising throttle performance and long-term reliability. Don’t risk your build with a weathered connection. Replace your sleeve before it fails.
