Got some Bosch plugs for the bus and they wee made in INDIA! Needless to say they failed within weeks.

I read about those on USA VW sites.....
it looks like they have switched manufacture back to Germany.....
Failure rate was very High....

If I don't head to the VW store I go into Gamac Auto Spares at Seven Hills. His got a store at Mt Pritchard also but I've never been there.
That guy is always so cheap and has everything you need, usually the hard to find stuff the larger stores don't carry.
Worth checking it out if you need anything for the car.

auto 1 at seven hills shops are good too. the guys are really helpful and are happy to find stuff out even if they don't know.
repco isn't any good at all these days. shame really, kinda like Kmart auto section. you used to be able to buy everything there, but they have
nothing but steering wheel covers and seatbelts pads now. Supacheap are ok, if you know what you are looking for. If you don't, good luck.

How do you think Sir Jack feels,his name is still associated to repco,how could such a prestigious company that has taken Sir Jack to several world F1
championships be in such a state. To me the name repco was and always wiil be connected to the very best Australian engineering ..this retail sham
that now bears the same name should be renamed to something like supashit with idiots that dont care as counterattendants..:beer:beer:beer
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

A fellow in Canada told Me He put Iridium spark plugs in His 1600 1303S and they fouled up very fast....
When I bought My first plugs for My Lancer , I bought genuine as I didn't know what they had....
and they were NGK.... standard plugs...
Mitsubishi didn't recommend iridium plugs...

I should get a head shop to do it and that they did'nt sell it, good thing an old dude up the back came out and told where it was lol |
