Volkswagen TDI’s “Mickey Mouse Clip” for an automotive #TBT
Posted By RichC on August 1, 2024
As is often the case, I’m often thinking about something that will work for ThrowBack Thursdays #TBT. Here are a couple of photos from 15 or so years ago, one of the “Mickey Mouse Clip” hanging with a couple old license plates that was used in the stock A4 Volkswagen TDI diesel fuel filter. I shared it with a couple of my non-TDI automotive friends and they were stumped.
I also am including the TDIClub modification that included a 2-micron Caterpillar Diesel filter that fit in the same under the hood location, but offered improved diesel fuel filtration … and I suspected far more volume of fuel between changes The filters were more reasonably priced than VW filters, so changing at the same VW filter intervals made perfect sense to me.
