V8 Parts

["Ben Howell" <bhowell@rmii.com>]

 A few of you might remember me whining and crying about the fact that the
caps and rotors for the V8's were NLA from Audi and my Bosch books (not
current) didn't show anything! Well, about 2 or 3 weeks ago, I got the new
Bosch books and they FINALLY offer the caps and rotors!!!! I was very
pleased! Ordered them the next day as a matter of fact. :)  

  Now, I am not going to say that it is a cheap cap and rotor replacement,
but in comparason to buying new DISTRIBUTORS from Audi, I was happy to
fork over my dough. for those of you that want them, here are the numbers
and suggested "retail" prices......Right bank: cap # 03365 $97.35 Left
Bank: #03364 $79.75  rotor (for both sides): #04214 $31.05 x2. Pricey?
Yes, but you should be able to find them for WAY less than that.

  Here's the interesting part (or should I say funny?).....if you look in
the back of any Bosch book, you will find a section that allows you to see
what cars share the part number you are looking for. Now, the caps are V8
only....of course, but if you look up the part number for the V8 rotors,
you will find only one car shares the same rotor....anyone care to guess?
How about 1990-1992 Yugo GV Plus?!?!?!?!! I crap you negative on this! I
had to laugh.....or was that cry? :)

 Just thought I would share that with you all.
