1999 C230 Kompressor
Bosch Coils or Mercedes?
Hello all, first time poster long time lurker!
My 1999 C230 Kompressor is having some hesitation issues (I've done searching) with codes for misfiring (codes P0300, P0301, P0170).
Anyways I changed out to a new Bosch MAF (Part #: BOS-0280217114), still same issue. So now I'll change my plugs and coils.
My question is which coils do I buy? Are the Bosch ones okay?
Bosch BOS-0221506002

or
Mercedes MER-0001587503
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...mer-0001587503
So I'll be picking up
- 4 Bosch plugs
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bos...e-bosch-7405-1
- 2 Coils whichever you recommend
I may as well change out the wire set as well. Is this plug wire set okay? I see it's made by STI, but I can't find any Mercedes or Bosch specific ones.

Any help is greatly appreciated thanks guys.

So like I said, at first I tried the MAF, but still same issue was there (nice to have a spare Bosch MAF now)
I changed all 4 plugs, two Bosch coils and used the above STI wiring kit and the problem is gone.
The car has never run any better. It really is amazing a car from 1999 feels this great to drive.
