Bosh vs Beru?

[HammerDown]

Hey guys, my Beru ZD9's are getting thin/eroding away. Today I replaced two dead gp's with two new spare Beru's. (no more spares)
Considering the below Bosh gp's costing 1/2 what 8 Beru's would cost new.
Feedback?

I would not be suprized if the bosch gp's were as bad as their 02 sensors. I ran some delphi gp's and they were fine

No problems with my Bosch gps so far. Have close to a year on them. However I haven't had any real cold starts here in South Florida.

I have a set of Bosch GPs, they work fine.

In my experience Bosch work great with manual systems. Using a controller tends to run them too long. Never had one swell either.

Vw diesel crowd loves em'. Some here are beru or die, i dont blame them after the autolite/champions that tend to swell or deform. But ive ran bosch n beru just fine, bosch get hot quicker from my experience

I ran Bosch glow plugs for a while. At least in my truck, they did not seem to get as "hot" as the Beru's do. However, they did work okay and did not swell. I did relace them with Beru's and that is all I will use from now on.

Thanks for the link. One less set available.

With my other cars all being Mercedes, I agree Bosch branded items are good...as long as they're not from the new assembly lines in India or Japan. Those new sources suck. Guess we'll see where these are made when they arrive.

I do carry the Lucas/Delphi glow plugs. They came with the business, so not my first choice, but apparently something I can get easily. I've put some in for various customers and have not had any issues, but then it's only been a year.

I think these are the ones I have in my truck. Had them for about 3 or 4 years now and they work very well.

I put a set of Bosch in our International uhaul but that was my only experience with them. I've had very good luck with ac delco plugs also.

Only one Bosch has gone bad on me in the last 3 years. These come from Japan, according to their boxes.
