## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this fit fuel injection 1600 beetle**
A: Yes. It fit mine.

**Q: what is the part number for the replacement cartridge for this air cleaner?**
A: Most of these air filter assemblies are generic made 5 1/2" X 3" standard for a single barrel carb intake. I don't think they provided a replacement part number for the filter. However, I would check a local oil change shop for an exact fit size to replace the old one. Or a Rod shop. 
Good luck man.

**Q: What size is the small oil breather hole    What size hose will fit**
A: its 1/2 inch OD

**Q: What is the bottom 2nd hole for the small one ?**
A: The small hole (chocolate starfish ) is for an oil breather hose to the oil filler neck.
