About using non-OEM ignition wires - I should have said that they
still need to meet not only quality standards but also the
resistance/foot (or per wire) specified by VW for their ignition
design.  That's the point of the carbon string - to introduce a
resistance of several kilohms distributed along the length of the wire.

Also, thanks to my lack of editing, you can deposit your old wire in
the department of redundancy department. ;-)
