I do have the cabin air filters on the order list but wasn’t aware of the charcoal filters, I will look into them.
I will order the delivery valve seal and what appears to be a special socket. They currently aren’t leaking, but will replace them while I’m there.
I am going to order all parts from pelican and am either selecting oem or the next 5 star rating parts. I hope the quality is good.
I would also like to order all the rubber fuel hoses and vacuum lines but, I am confused at what sizes to buy. Do I need to order a meter or two of each size listed on the pelican site?
This is my first German vehicle and Lord willing, I plan to drive it until it’s just not feasible any longer. Thanks

O ring sizes and the amount needed.

Buy viton o rings here. Remember to submerge the viton o rings in boiling water for easier installation

You have a torque wrench right, it's necessary for the delivery valve seals.
