I've been using them in all my Mercedes , not a failure yet . they're German made , unlike the current worthless Bosch ones and *very* price competitive too .
Autolite ones are not worth spit , bad right out of the box mostly .
Beru used to be German crap 35 years ago ,maybe they're better now .
I have several sets of good use glow plugs , no one wanted them so I tossed them out .
