I just ordered my new Magnecor spark plug wires 2 days ago (8.5mm Magnecor part #85240 for E55) for really cheap! I mean I researched the crap out of these and they're going for $251 bucks plus shipping everywhere including Magnecor's website. I found a site called Alamo Motorsports where I ordered them for $170.02 shipped. Here is the site's link to the wires: http://www.alamomotorsports.com/Magn..._mercedes.html

Jimbocorwires! LOL

Who's doing the install on this? You or are you taking it to a shop? Let me know.

jimmydagreek

Jamesparkometer, lol, I'm going to replace my plugs and wires myself. Why, you need some help with yours?

JamE55

Naw. Mine's still . Just wanted to obeserve and see how easy/difficult this process is. How long do you think it would take to replace them?

jimmydagreek

Hmmm, if all goes well I hope no longer than a couple of hours. You wanna come by when I do this and kick back, have a beer or diet soda (since your're on a roll) and watch? You're more than welcomed to Jamespearmintrhino, lol...

jimmydagreek

Hey Jimmy,

Are these wires already cut in length and have the ends put on. Is it read to go? What makes these any better than? Can I use the same ones on an ML430. Its all the same engine set up Right?

RAFFIE55

Also Jimmy what plugs are you going with? I have to change my wife's ML430 she has almost 120000 on the same plugs. When it's cold in the morning it runs a bit rough.

jimmydagreek

Raffi, yes these are the correct length and you just have to find the part # for the ML and order them. From what I gather they're just very well made to OEM specs if not better. This will probably be the last set of wires you'll ever get according to what I've read. As for plugs, I'm just using Bosch Plats as used by MB. I was going to use the NGK Iridiums but everyone claimed there weren't any gains from them and to stick to stock so I am.

RAFFIE55

Hey thanks. I was thinking of getting my plugs from here

http://www.importeccatalog.com/

It's pretty cheap. Did you find any cheaper?

When are you going to do the wires and plugs? Give me a call..I might want to watch

jimmydagreek

Yes, that is a very good price and I'd jump on it. I paid about a buck and a half more for each of mine. I'll probably do them in about a week or two because I'm slammed with work. Instead of watching, just get your parts and come over, we'll do both cars at the same time!

phil55

Can someone post a part number/supplier for the spark plugs?

I pulled one of mine and it was labeled NDK R. Did MB use Bosch plugs as well?

Thanks.

RAFFIE55

That sounds good. I was refering to my wife's ML. She needs it worse than I do. If thats O.K. with you. I'll try to get the parts within the next week or so. Keep me posted

jimmydagreek

No worries, whichever car is fine, it doesn't make a difference it's still a Benz!
