?? six months!!??  in 6 years of my 80 bus, i only had two sets of wires
(and only changed them cause i had an end connector go bad, so, according
to paranoid maintenance thinking ... the wires must have caused it! ;)


yeah, i know the vw brand is outrageously priced, but you should be able to
get bosch brand from somewhere else. surely they would last longer than
six months.  hopefully?


>BTW, the 82 Westy is gasoline powered... not diesel.
