Oddly enough, the S2 cars dont have any hood insultation.

I've been working on a Merc 380SEL that could shed some light on the problem:
It was fitted with a set of non-standard Bosch spark plugs that had metal "boots" to connect to the spark plugs. These boots were longer than standard and could definitely lead to some shorting problems if located where the plugs are in a 16V without hood insulation.
Just food for thought.
