New ignition wire set
 

This is the week that everything breaks...
Last year my car (1987 560 SEL) developed a "hiccup" when idling. I took the car in for some other work and the shop told me that the hiccup was caused by a bad ignition wire, which was replaced. Now, a year later I have a new hiccup, so I figure I might as well just replace all of them. I could find the bad one and replace it, but if this is going to continue (6 more times, I suppose) it would be simpler to just start with a fresh set.

My question is:
I see that on FastLane there are 3 brands available for my car, Bosch, PVL and Beru. Which would be best, or are the three pretty similar? If so I'll get the Bosh, since it is about $30.00 less than the other two. Are the PVL or Beru wires any better?

wires
 

please only use Bosch,they are the oem, used during this models production years.
i have seen issues with other brands. i have installed beru brand that were defective from the box

Yeah, I just thought it was odd the the Bosch set would be the least expensive.

If your ignition wires have the red molded sparkplug connectors I recommend using Beru, the OEM.

Take a look at this thread too:

oem?
 

beru is not the OEM for this vintage car, during these year mercedes only used Bosch, Beru is currently being used for the newer applications, that have the molded wires you mention,

The Bosch units are made in Spain at this point, as such I'm not much of a fan. Beru are the best wires on the market IMHO. I have installed them on a multitude of customer cars as well as my own w/ excellent results.

Bosch is not what it used to be IMHO.
