Pretty sure it's Bosch, but other diesel owners should be around soon to confirm it

Thanks for reply I am swaying to Bosch to but read somewhere that I can't find right now, that if you remove the connector you can see one of two colours at top of plug if I remember right either red or black for different types.
Codes are showing that I need a new number 7. Mike |

The ceramic ones were BOSCH and a disaster and production change replaced with conventional metal BERU plugs. This was a few years before your car was made so I'm sure not ceramic. The ceramic had a white band and metal had a terracotta coloured band but some aftermarket have a black band. It is of importance because the two types are different volatge and so the ECU needs coding to avoid inoperable or blown glowplug.
I would just stick with BERU. I fitted NGK but if I would just get BERU if doing again as they were 2mm shorter. http://beru.federalmogul.com/en-gb/e-catalogue/vehicle Attachment 14443 Last edited by snapdragon; 23rd April 2020 at 08:19 AM. |

Ps let me know how you get along with the change as I was told that they can be a pig to replace.
