Whichever gives you the best price, of course+ACE- (Mann or Mahle, of course+ACE-) I
get mine from WAWD/EAP, a wholesale supplier for my VW repair business.
Maybe I should but a few hundred, and sell them to the list
members......hmmmmm......tell the wife there's always room for more VW
stuff, just leave the car out of the garage+ACE- :-)

+AD4- oooh, good idea. Now i just got to get my wife to allow me to stock pile
+AD4- more stuff in the garage... she hates it when i purchase a few cases of
oil
+AD4- at once, or a big box of deck screws when i just need 12 or when I
purchase
+AD4- 8' of lumber for 2'.  Maybe it is a VW thing, but i accumumulate stuff
+AD4- because you never know when you may need 20 lbs of deck screws...

+AD4- Who do you recommend? Bus depot or Camel Back?
