Re: Bosch plug wire quality???

I am contemplating whether to stick with the MB wires or go with the prefabricated Bosch wires. Any experience with Bosch wires that I should be cautious of? [/QUOTE]

In my experience, Bosch aftermarket wires may or may not have the same "build" quality as an OEM wire set also produced by Bosch. Many of the supposed quality issues manifest themselves after improper handling as Bud described in his response. With care, the aftermarket Bosch wires should last just as long as an OEM set and provide comparable performance.

My car (M119.97x) now has the OEM wires from Beru after learning one aftermarket quality lesson the hard way. If your maintenance budget permits, I would recommend the Beru product even above Bosch.
