K&N air filter (until I can convince myself to pick up something else)

... I also don't take my car in for maintenance though.

I *DO* recommend sticking w/vw parts when engineering and failure are important. (belts, waterpump, master cylinder, slave cylinder, switches, bitches, sensors, etc) But if their part failed because it's weak (clutch); you're not gonna see me putting in another similarly weak part. See where I'm goin' w/that?

Not sayin' it's right, that's just how I fly.

So, if I'm reading that correctly, you WOULDN'T replace your OE waterpump with a VW waterpump then, right?

Also UFC_Champ, I believe the 3 prong Bosch plugs are original. That's what I took out of my car when I replaced them with +4's and Magnecor wires.
