Yes. However as a long time old car mechanic I learned the hard way some new cars are super picky about what spark plugs you put in them. It kind of caught me by surprise. Parts store gave me Bosch plugs their system matched to my GF's Pilot, and it fell on its face hard about a half hour into the next drive.
Pros: new cars picky about plugs
Cons: Bosch plugs caused issues
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
I get this too since I replaced pads and rotors (Bosch Quietcast pads/Zimmermann rotors). To me, it's more of a click than a clunk.
Cons: click or clunk
I learned that when my generic $125 fuel pump turned into a $750 tow and a $150 U-Haul trailer rental and 3 hours on the side of the road waiting for U-Haul to fix their blown out trailer tire. And then a new $400 Bosch fuel pump that I should have bought in the first place.
Pros: Bosch is better
Cons: generic pump failed
I've switched to Valeo as recent years Bosch are shite.
Cons: Bosch are shite
