Spark Plugs Time?

[cl55 amg]

After some advice about changing my plugs. Where is the best place to buy them? do you spend £4.20 per plug from Eurocarparts (bosch) or £10 a plug from MB for there plugs?

or is there a better option

For comparison, try Sparkplugs UK NGK Champion Denso Sparkplug, Glowplug and Lambda Sensors. Used them several times, good service, quick delivery and keen pricing.

If you go with what the manufacturer recommends, you can't go wrong.

Especially with a V6 or V8, its just too much hassle to go back and change all those plugs (two per cylinder) again just for the sake of fitting something different that may or may not perform well with the engine.

So if it is Bosch, I'd say stick to Bosch

Stick to bosch, nothing wrong with them.

Thanks for that now a difficult decision..

£144.44 for bosch via Dealership....or £67.20 from eurocarparts

Of course Euro Car Parts. The merc ones are also bosch, so whats the point of paying the premium?

Also try GSF. I got my Bosch there and they were cheaper than anywhere else and that included free delivery.

Let us know the outcome as I do not feel you are comparing like for like.

I doubt they will be supplying you with the same plug number/type as Merc would be.

I found Merc to be competitive on plugs and I am assured of getting the proper ones/heat range.

I would buy just one from each place and see if they are indeed the same Bosch number.

you might be right, but checking the part number FR8DPP33+ and having a quick look on google I came across this site (if you can believe them)

Mercedes Bosch Spark Plugs FR8DPP33

The slam panel on my vehicle has a official sticker which states the plugs as Bosch or Beru with a Bosch and Beru part number.

The only difference about buying Bosch parts from Mercedes is you get an equivalant mercedes part number, you will be charged double and the presentation / packaging will be different.

The Bosch number has always been on the plugs I got from Merc parts dept.
