As long as the filter works well with synthetic oil. Some really cheap ones dont work well with synthetic like the red Purolator or Microgaurds. Bosch makes a great filter, I've used a few in my cars with store brand synthetic oil and oil stayed brown for a long time.
I recently purchased a 120 amp (refurbished) Bosch alternator at Advance Auto and kept the receipt. My original 90 amp alternator lasted 14 years before it stopped charging battery.
250,000 KM and still on the original alternator ( 1998 Audi A4 . Bosch 120 Amp Alternator ) . Had to replace a couple of bearings but that's it.
I put a set of Bosch Icon blades on a month or so ago. I think they were 26/18. I bought whatever the parts store catalog called out for size. I may be incorrect. The Icons have been working much better than the factory wipers. No streaks or lines.
When I bought my car, it had ****ty wipers so I replaced them with relatively expensive Bosch wipers but I was always disappointed with the quality. Then I replaced those with the genuine VW wipers from the dealer that scotts13 mentioned and it's insane how much better they perform. They were cheaper, too.
I went to Oreilly's today and found a set of the Bosch OE style wipers and they fit great. Roughly $25 each. However I think most stores only keep a couple in stock and they're usually in the back, the dude I got them from had to search for them in the back. I've had good luck with Icon's in the past as well, they wipe great and last a long time.
Bosch ICON You have to bite the bullet and spend $50 at autozone for the BOSCH Icons for your year and make. I just bought a pair for my wifes 11' Jetta SEL 2.5. They are also the ones on my 15' Jetta S. They come with a variety of adapters so they will definitely fit whatever style you have.
Go to the closest Autozone and ask them what size wiper blades u need, just length, then find the Bosch icon blades that have the right length with the letters "oe" after it.
So far we have; Changed to new spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor and the distributor is not leaking oil, tried two different sets of spark plugs Bosch F6DTC and NGK/RIDIUM BKR6EIX.
I bought my Bosch 120aalternator from Autozone because of the warranty and had to use it about 3k into its life when the bearing failed. I also had Bosch reman fail on my Nissan after 1 1/2.
