    Hey, in the Macan PDK service, the filter you listed as the “external” filter is actually in internal filter. I think you are talking about the canister filter, P/N 0B5 325 330 A
    Thanks for all the work you do to put these together, it is much appreciated!
    Please let me know you got this, so I don’t keep harassing you.
