Has anyone ever used the lifetime warranty of Bosch ignition wire setfrom Autozone. A little more expensive than online, but free replacements?? A set for my 4.5L 117.985 is $100.

One of the pro techs who helps out here has mentioned that Bosch quality is not created equal. They make good(sometimes) and not so good.

Guess which one ends up at AZ?

AZ's starters and alternators are pure garbage. Yes they have a lifetime warranty, but what good is it if you have to pull and take back very 6 weeks.

I wouldn't believe that their Bosch wires are any better than any of the rest of their junk elect. parts.

There are a lot of web sellers that can provide Beru wires which some believe are better than Bosch.

I bought a set of Beru's(OEM wires) from these people for less than AZ wants for the Bosch wires mentioned at the start of this thread.

But for someone who wants to change a set every 3 years, that is not a bad deal though......I have Beru on the car know but some of the ends are corroded.. while looking for a replacement set I ran across the feature of lifetime warranty. I am not a fan of AZ but the warranty is intriguing......that's the reason for the post to see if anyone has tried their Bosch wires....

And I'll bet those wires are original. Not bad for 25 yrs. Again, Beru is OEM - better wires.

I bought a rather expensive ($150) set, can't remember the brand, for my 560sl mail order and I was very disappointed with the tailoring. The wires were of significantly different length from my (original, 18 year old) Bosch set. I researched this some time ago and in addition to the tailoring issue, some mfr's don't even angle the appropriate connectors/heat shields like the originals - they are straight. How much DO you have to pay for a good set (short of dealer robbery)?

I paid $118.00 for a set of OEM Beru's from the site mentioned in an earlier thread.

The wires on the car were Beru-original. M.B.DOC has mentioned in previous threads that Beru is OEM; Bosch is not.

I was in an MB dealership the other day and asked to see a new set of wires for my MB. Dealer wanted $189.xx for Bosch wires. The quality didn't look anywhere near as good as the Beru's I bought for $118.00.
