Well, I have to add my 0.02 Euros here because I've found out that not only
Bosch is the way to go...there's an alternative which implies to switch the
dist. cap and coil to the pre '84 design (the ones that *do NOT* have the
shaft in the middle of each "output" plug) and using Beru's blue silicone
wires. These are very cheap (like less than 30Euros a set in Europe IIRC)
and I've had them for more than 60.000 kms, 20.000 in my previous Coupe GT
and 40.000+ in my coupe quattro and still no problems whatsoever.

That was just my 0.02,
