Glow plug ordering help
So I need to replaced a failed glow plug and was just about to order 6 new Bosch plugs online and ran into a previous post. From what I gathered, the stock/OEM Bosch 11.5V glow plugs are incorrect for use in the US. The recommended replacement is the BERU 5V glow plug...however, both sets are marked with the same part number 0011595101.
So...can anyone guide me into where you are able to order the proper BERU 5v glow plugs instead of the Bosch/BERU 11.5v glow plugs?!?!?!
Thanks

If you order from the MB dealer you are assured of getting the right plug.

WRONG!!! When my indie first replaced my glow plugs, he goes directly to the Mercedes dealer to purchase parts. Well, I had the wrong plugs for about six months. When I noticed that my cdi was not starting like it should, and my invoice had Bosch listed for replacement parts, I had my indie pull the plugs and install the correct ones. The Mercedes parts department has both plugs under the same part number. If I were you, I would call whoever you are ordering the glow plugs from and have them pull the glow plug and make sure it is a Beru, and that it has 5V stamped on it. I recently heard that Bosch may have a 7V plug that may work in our cdi's, but again, stay with the Berus.
