Hello,
unfortunately during my spark plug change one Ingition Coil Broke. Mercedes is not able to Supply the whole coil for 2 month. They can only ship the lower long Part.
I removed the old one and saw that the plate where they connect is not even. Is this normal or is it broken and I need to search for an aftermarket Part?

It is a 2014 S550 M278.

Aftermarket could work. I would view it as a temporary solution until you can replace it with a dealer-purchased coil. Quality is always a question with aftermarket electrical parts.

Bosch is probably who Mercedes buy them from. I remember getting a Mercedes branded and numbered MAF (remanufactured) from AutoZone for my Volvo S80. I thought the guy made a mistake but apparently Bosch makes them for both car companies just bands them differently. So the joke is Volvo's cardboard box costs $50 and Mercedes' cardboard box costs $100.

2017 coils were made by BorgWarner. It’s standard practice in the auto industry to award length-of-program contracts to suppliers and to single-source components to avoid redundant capital investment in tooling.

Please post a photo clearly showing the printed information on the “potting” of the coil on the other side.
