Description

Long before I read all that bad stuff online about the Ford crowd having trouble with autolite gp's I installed them in my 86 Golf and have been on the same gp's now for at least five years. I'm sure they need to be checked but I can't say much bad about them tbh.
Pros: lasted at least five years
Cons: need to be checked
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Many many internet reports of people having terribly short glow plug lives with the Autolite version.
Cons: short glow plug lives
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
