Glow Plug Choice. Need help ASAP

They show the Beru and the Bosch brands. Anyone know the differences and which I should get? TIA

They are both made in Germany but having tried BOSCH and Beru, I prefer Beru as it proved to be more reliable and my starting improved over BOSCH.

Actually, my last (two weeks ago) Bosch plug had "India" stamped on it. But you can get the real German ones in India, eh? Hmmm.... Gotta a secret deal going over there?

Just put set of Beru in 1982 300sd

I just put five Beru's in my 1982 300sd and the Bosch were stamped made in France. I don't want French crap in my German car. My car really starts better on a cold morning now.

Absolutely right, most BOSCH, some ZF, Mahle, Goetze are made in India as a matter of fact from the 60s, the BERU is sold by Lucas here but is made in Germany. MB diesel engines as well as MAN and ZF tranny too are made here in India.
