I need to throw in my 2 cents about Parts Place...They SUCK.  My first and
last order to them was 2 MANN oil filters-specifically MANN ONLY-and a horn
for a bug. They sent me a Jetta horn and two off brand oil filters.  I sent
everything back and after a while got a refund - less postage - I had to
pay for their incompetence! Never again.
