This has been debated before and a lot of people feel the same way your MB tech does. I have also seen at least one very knowledgeable member on here argue that "Bosch is Bosch". I really don't know but I have never heard anything negative on here about autohaus.az. If they sell a part as OEM, then I believe them. The alternate brands they also offer might be questionable.
