Spark plug lead recommendation
Hi Fellow Forum Members
My car has miss when cold. I also noticed a spark between one of the plug leads and the engine. The OEM leads from Porsche are quite expensive. Seems there are 2 aftermarket options, Beru and URO. I would appreciate a bit of advice and your experience with these options. |
The quality of fit and performance of the Porsche items made it worth it for me. The Beru set I tried was poor
|
I have Clewett on my 70. Great quality and fit. Much better than Beru and if memory serves me they were cheaper than Beru.
|
I purchased a set of Beru - had a lot of trouble with engine misfiring when cold. Found poor/loose connections which i tried to fix but the misfires kept coming back. Ordered a set of Clewwett wires and haven't looked back. Truly awesome quality.

I originally got the Beru's because I wanted to have a stock looking motor. They fell apart, causing no end of trouble and grief. I got Clewetts and haven't looked back. On my early style engine I had to modify the plug holders since you cannot disassemble the plug wires to thread them through: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1596493243.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1596493243.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1596493243.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1596493243.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1596493243.jpg |

I had Beru's before and they were c@#$! Three wires separated from the plug connectors within 3000 miles. Not a reliable product in my book. YMMV |
I also chose the Clewitt plug wires and have been very satisfied with their quality. Great choice and reasonably priced when compared to the Porsche pieces.

If it helps, Kavadarci posted a review of our Spark Plug Wire Set 911 609 010/011 ST for 1974-1983 and all turbos (basically all CIS injected engines) a while back.

Consider NGK
I put a set of NGK wires in mine a few weeks back. Excellent quality and very pleased. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1596559866.jpg

Wow guys, that was certainly not the response I expected. I honestly thought the Beru was a high quality aftermarket product. Thank you for all the feedback. I see the host has 2 Clewett (Red & Black) wires marked as upper. Are these the correct ones? I see it does not have the extra earth connectors.
Anyone else with experience on the URO wires? |
I replaced my Berus a few years ago and they were already failing this year. I replaced them with Clewetts which feel much higher quality.
I did a similar thing as someone above, slitting the original Beru wire holders with a razor and putting the Clewett wires in them. Zip ties hold it all together. Looks fairly close to stock and runs so much better. |
