I had a Bosch plug wire set fail in a Jetta within a week of installation, the Vanagon set lasted a couple weeks more. Took them both back for replacement, and that was about six years ago. The local Bosch distributor refuses to honor the manufacturer's lifetime warranty, so I haven't seen the plug wires in a while. Bought a $14 set, lasted me a couple of years, both vehicles (Brazilian, maybe). I would love to get a Beru set for my van, had them in the Jetta for many years and they're great. Bought them from Neuspeed many moons ago, expensive but worth every penny. Hector 1990 Carat 'Ursula'
