Now I wonder if these were The original wire set on this car.
On the 134-R refrigerant, I was informed today by the PO that in fact it was changed out at an indy MB shop in Glendora, CA. I asked about the seals and old mineral oil being replaced but he didn't know but he said it was expensive when the work was done.
I wonder if the indy shop still has the car in it's computer base, maybe I could get the service records that way. That shop serviced the car up until they parked it in 2003.

Mine had the plastic sheath over each bank too
The rubber was like iron...hard not brittLe
I trieds to cut it off & no way to do it w reg sissors
No way I would think of rethreading the new wires in it
Anyway the shop chucked it & just tied the wires together w those black plastic ties.
Mine may have been original too
they were just marked Germany.
Good wires can last a very long time
Its the connectors that usually delevelop problems
& I suppose if dielectric grease is used & a boot puller is used to change plugs the wires could last 200K
I never got too see the plug end on mine
I guess they were solid wire
Do you know if the Beru are solid wire core?
New wires are made different
I figure mine were old
but I hope I didn't make a mistake w the bosch prem opti coated
& throw away good solid wires...
