New Super GP for for a 617 Engine

Where can I buy a set of the new Bosch super GP for a 617 engine? I have a 1978 300SD that I'm going to use as a winter car and I want the maximum GP to start it in the cold.

Anybody have a P/N for them?

I'm not going to comment on the odd seasonal timing of this post, but if those old glow plugs are still working, shouldn't you still be utilizing them??





Couldn't resist. Sorry PEH

Jimmy,

My current "winter" car has had it last ride, a 6000 mile trip, because the body is so rusted it won't pass PA inspection any more. The doors don't close well any more because of body sag and the cold air comes in thru the holes in the floor. It was bought 8 years ago as a parts car but it ran so good, I just kept driving it.

So I'm starting to put back together its replacement. 4 of the 5 GP have been "borrowed" from the replacement car so I thought I would start off with 5 new GP and I might as well get the latest and greatest. I know, its unusal for me to buy 5 new GP, but the circumstances are different now.

Is this really a new glow plug?

I get this:



which I put in the 240D last fall and am very happy with.

And this:



which is Super, but not a glow plug, from the Bosch US site. Is there something new?

I believe each of these cars are the final production year for that model.
