Bosch Spark Plug Wires any good?
Has anyone used Bosch Spark Plug Wires? Are they the same as OEM?

I think oem is beru but i'm not sure. If you have a carrera i think you need to use oem because of the resisted ends. That is unless you've modified your ignition to another setup.

I thought that Bosch was OEM but they arrived today and they are "OE fit". They are listed as having RF shielding in the wire so they don't need resistor connectors. Anyone have any experience with these?

John Walker says they're fine. That's good enough for me. Mine are in and soon to be tested.

Thanks Chris. From what I've read, John Walker knows what he is talking about.
Let me know when you get them in if you are happy.

I had Bosch wires with Beru ends on my car. I don't know how old they were when I replaced them last summer, but the Jacobs Electronics ones I bought have a nice "snap" when they connect to the plug letting you know thry are well connected and they don't come loose. My old wires were so old/worn that they kept slipping off the plug ends...

The Bosch wires I've seen for other applications have a spiral wound wire core, same as a lot of others. Are the plug connectors rubber or similar to OEM (plastic)?
