As promised last week, I can now happily announce that you no longer have to pay $60 for a set of good ignition wires for your watercooled Vanagon! The "genuine VW" spark plug wires sold by Volkswagen in Europe are manufactured for them by a certain large German company and then packaged in VW boxes. I now have a limited quantity of those wires, without the VW packaging, for a fraction of the price. Whereas the Bosch aftermarket wires are $59.95 (that's at my discounted price; they retail for $80), and the Genuine VW ones are even more than that... These are just $29.95 A SET. My part number 09272 OE, for '85-91. For '83-1/2-84 it's 09180 OE. Order on the website, or call toll-free. The lead time (no pun intended) is a good 6 months to get more once they're gone, as I have to first wait for another production run, and then import them myself. So if it's been a while since you replaced your plug wires, you may want to order a set now while they're in stock. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc.
