Hello everyone,

as some of you have already noticed, I am currently restoring my H-Code 351C 2V.

While inspecting the air filter, I noticed that all the inlets for the gas outlet from the valve covers are completely missing or that there are no connections for the vacuum.

That seems strange to me. At least in the manual, the 351C is actually listed with these characteristics originally.

Could the previous owner have bought a 351W instead of the 351C, and therefore the typical connections for the 351C 2V/4V are missing?

How my current Air filter looks like without decal:

How the air filter looks in my manual for the 351C 2V, this is the correct one?

Thank you so much!

So guys, today I brushed my air filter (I thought the right one) for the 351C V2.

After detailing it, the head of the air cleaner looks different from the head of the V2 air cleaner in the picture. It looks familiar, but is not identical to the 351C V2.

I bought it one ebay from the states.

Can anyone help me with exactly which filter I have now?

Will it work on my 351C V2?
