ZD1A and ZD28 Glow Plugs from RA

[parkergn]

I was wondering the same thing. Why the # change.
Maybe they heat differently? IDK.
Can`t assume. Don`t want to make an A S S outof U and Me...

EDIT: evidently A Z Z is another dirty word.

All good! Just wouldn't mind the discount if its just a part number # !

Both BERU Germany plugs, same codes too?

I was going to answer this last month when this thread was running. then it slips to page 2 etc...

Also Iam pretty sure RA doesn`t own wear houses all across the country. Probably a couple guys in some office suit they rent, have a program on their computers to click on wear houses in various places around the country they subscribe to. Then they see what inventory is available by what part #`s we punch in.

Valid point - so I asked the internet how many RA warehouse locations there are, and the first forum which popped up said something which explains a lot and makes sense - noting I have no way to validate.

Essentially: RA does not have a bunch of warehouses… it *does* have a bunch of partner relationships with various regional retain and wholesale auto parts suppliers… which makes RA essentially an “internet consolidator” of auto parts inventories… And that would be the reason they do not offer a single shipping price point… From a website inventory selection perspective - really easy to manage…

No Idea what the reality actually is… but it certainly fits the policy and behavior we see…
