Why 2 oil filters on non Quattro 200 Turbo?

Say "boo!" and I'll fax you the ur-quattro wiring diagram. It's different,
BTW, for cars with a/c.
On the normal MB - whatever drives J155 and the thermoswitch - the result is
that the pump runs and the radiator fan runs on the lowest setting. This seems
to be the _only_ way this setting is invoked - there's an extra resistor in the
line before it connects to the built-in resistor contact on the fan motor. The
second and third stages of the fan are switched normally by the radiator's
thermoswitches - second stage puts volts directly on the resistor terminal of
the fan motor, and third puts the volts straight onto the motor.
All this also happens in an a/c car - but it looks like the a/c fan gets run as
well.
