Bosch Duraterm Chromium Glowplugs (3Year Warranty)

Bosch Technical in Farmington Hills,Michigan Knows nothing about them!

WELL,I guess not!
How many of the old crappy regular Duraterm type glowplugs would they be
able to sell in America ,If we could buy these?

attendez-vous sil vous plait

"NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES"

Robert Bosch North America KNOWS NOTHING about them.

I am hoping some of the European members know of these.

I sent "Parrot of Doom" an inquiry by PM.
Perhaps his Doomness will know more?

AWSROCK,

I'd pay AT LEAST $10.00 more per plug...3 (THREE) year warranty!
(AND if the soot wouldn't build up and stick to the "Chromium"...)

Great plugs, have them in my conversion to assist with cold veg starting -

Bought a couple of sets from here http://www.helptoday.co.uk/company/contact.asp

Cannot recommend them enough on price and service, without getting the invoice out they were about £3/4 each + shipping

1 GBP is about US$2. I don't know what shipping costs.

Angry Gloom and Doom!

Nice gentleman at helptoday in Lincoln (England) told me that Bosch ceased
making the duraterm Chromiums in 1992 !

I wonder why they did that? (HINT)

Really? That is awesome!

I'd be up for getting together to order some. I was planning on replacing my plugs for winter at some point anyway!

If they are still indeed produced or for sale I'd want them too..... I wonder if it actually makes any difference in starting....probably not.
