95 Jetta substitute plug wires?????

Hey guys, just found this forum and it looks great. My question is, does
anyone know of any substitute replacement plug wires for the 95 Jetta. I
haven't even checked the dealer price.. but the after market price is
100.00. Seems kinda step for a bunch of wires. You would think at some
point the "price shock" on VW parts would not bother me so bad. Afterall
this is the 4th VW I've owned, 78 Beetle, 85 Rabbit, 87 Jetta, now the 95.
I do love VW's even if the parts are outrageous.
Thanks, Tony

I've seen prices of about $65 on up for the aftermarket wires for an A2 1.8
8V and I believe the 4-cylinder A3 Golf/Jetta wires are the same. Had an
aftermarket set come apart on me though when I was removing my plugs one
time (and the wires weren't that old). Since then I've just gotten them from
the dealer...I think in the high $80s.

Thanks for the reply Matt. Maybe I need to check another aftermarket
source... mine quoted me at 89.99. I will also check the deaer.... 89 for
aftermarket that come apart or 80 for factory... hmmmm, not a hard
decision there.

Hmmmm, can someone tell me how my reply got posted as a duplicate.. twenty
minutes apart?

Right now www.germanautoparts.com (reallly good folks) is running a
special on a 2.0 tuneup kit that includes new plug wires, Bosch cap and
rotor and four Bosch FR8DS plugs. See he

and look at their actual site:

where they list both the OEM set for $80.33 and what they call a good
economy set for $48.25.

and I would agree that it is a good price ($99) for the plugs, wires, cap and
rotor!
good looking out William! :-)
