Description

This article is from the Watercooled VWs General FAQ, by Jan Vandenbrande with numerous contributions by others.

16 What are some of the brand name namufacturer/product addresses?

A: It's not always clear where something belongs, e.g.,
Zender is a product name, and a tuner. Therefore, see also the other lists.
There are no strict criteria to be added to this list, and to be
listed (or not) is not meant as an endorsement!
In addition, most of the product names mentioned are not purely
VW related.
