I used Bosch pads and rotors when I last changed my front pads [available from Amazon.com]. 13K on the new setup with no problems - stops well, quiet, no vibrations - and the non-friction surfaces of the rotor aren't rusty.

I switched to the Bosh Icon. they were more expensive, but I haven't had to change then in two years and they are still going strong.
ran this one a bit in my 88 16v scirocco. works fine. a bit biger than the sotch as far as size.
Yeah, I'd rather use some cheap BOSCH SUPERS or other $2 copper plug than any Autolite.
I have recently had both batteries replaced and the garage I use recommends Bosch as they have a 6 year ' no quibble ' (unlike VW) warranty . They are to the same spec as the Varta batteries and the right one is a 62ah normal lead acid type .
Dude save your money and chance battery yourself. I disconnected battery million times before and all i needed to do is "relearning window position". I bought Bosch group size 48 battery from Pepboys. It fits like glove and has 3 year warranty.
Sometimes you just have to try a few sets. I have a '97 Jetta which had NGK plugs in it for close to 4 years. I went through two sets of NGK plugs and couldn't get the car to run. I switched to Bosch and it started right up and ran fine.
Make sure the wiper blades themselves aren't warped. Mine were when I took delivery of my 2014 GTI. My driver side one kept leaving thick streaks behind at eye level (to the point where visibility was dangerously bad at night in the rain). I first tried cleaning the blades off but that didn't help. When I got a closer look the next day I noticed that the blade itself looked slightly twisted and bowed inward at a certain spot. I had my dealership replace the wiper blade and the problem went away completely.
i changed the original NGK spark plug with new Bosch super 4 spark plugs. a nice improvement but still far from old good performance.
I bought some of those and didn't think much of them tbh. My engine prefers NGKs for some reason. Feels smoother and more eager to rev. I noticed with the F5DPORs a 'welded on' tip which looked a bit weak
