As a former NAPA sales rep I can tell you that the Gold line of filters is as good as aftermarket filters get. They use an excellant paper stock, the proper drain back valves, and a good grade if steel for a solid shell. I have cut apart hundreds of filters in doing demos and never had anyone find fault with our products. NAPA also has access to Beck now which gives them even more coverage for Vanagon parts. A real plus is if they dont have something they are overnight away 99% of the time and they back it with 6300 stores nation wide. One hint also...take in some cookies to the counter people and they are your buds forever...Good Luck...Eric..91GL, 98 Cabrio, 85 Jetta, 86 Golf, 82 Westfalia... |
