Interesting. I don't pretend to know a whole lot about ignition systems. It looks like MB is approving the use of resistive plugs in systems designed for non-resistors. Since these are interchangeable, is there any reason to prefer one type over the other? Performance? Service life? Price? Beru plugs are still available as non-resistor. Is there any reason to choose them over the less expensive Bosch resistor type? I asked my dealer and they use the Berus.
I would like to open the attachment but I can't see it.
Thanks, Dan
