Pros: performed excellent

So new Bosch plugs and red-top coils seemed worth the $109. Old spark plugs were pretty crusty, which made me feel better about doing it.
Pros: worth the money
Cons: old plugs were crusty

Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 42000 km
Just had exactly the same problem on my '09, needs a starter. Well more accurately the solenoid that pushes and pulls the starter teeth onto the flywheel is underperforming, and when cold it doesn't get off the flywheel fast enough to keep from barking the starter motor against the faster spinning flywheel.
I bought a Bosch Reman for about $260 with a 5 year warranty, went in with a moderate amount of persuasion. The oil filter, dipstick, oil pressure sensor have to come out to do it. You being from Chicago might have to fight to get the dipstick holder out without breaking it.
Pros: 5 year warranty
Cons: moderate amount of persuasion
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
FWIW, if you don't have Bosch, BERU, Bremi, or NGK plugs/coils and have store brand stuff, I stop diagnostic work until you get OE grade stuff put in there. BMW's don't like the Zone/ebay for ignition parts in my experience.
Pros: OE grade stuff
Cons: store brand stuff
Vehicle:
BMW
I used to have a Bosch starter. Rock solid even well below freezing. Solenoid broke. My current starter is whatever generic garbage they put in, and it doesn’t catch the first time I start it in sub-20F weather.
Pros: rock solid, below freezing
Cons: solenoid broke, doesn’t catch
I spent the day today putting fresh tires on (the rims to be replaced at a future date), replaced the plugs with 3-prong NGKs and ordered a new Bosch cap and rotor.
Pros: fresh tires, new plugs
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
I always go with the top tier Bosch Evolutions for all of my vehicles.
Pros: top tier quality
Yeah can go wrong with acdelco. I run Bosch in my 93 4.3
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Glad it worked for you. I thought for sure mine was fixed when I replaced my fuel pump, even spent the extra for a Bosch, but the problem came back a few months later.
Pros: initially seemed fixed
Cons: problem came back
I put Bosch Icons on both my Tig and MINI and am not pleased with them on either vehicle. Multiple, thin streaks arc'ing across the full length of wiper swing in simple rain/mist is unacceptable for the price you pay for them...
Cons: multiple thin streaks
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
