Hello benz lover,,, i am owner of w123 m110 engine 280e , just got new spark plug wire form called BBT GERMANY, because the existing wire by BERU, got bitten by rat, the question is,
on the band new cable, is it normal if they still have leaking electricity, ?. I am checking in the dark , on wet and dry condition, i still can see there' some electricity jump to the engine block,,,,,,,
OR , on brand new cable, there's should not have any leak electricity, even a little tiny leak,,.?....i almost loose my faith, the store said , it's normal, ,,, otherwise, I can't find another brand in my country, they only sell BBT GERMANY,,,,,, FYI, I have 3 set BBT GERMANY and they all leak electricity, and its brand new,,,,,,,

please help me answer my curiosity ,,,,,thank you for reading

Well thats not right ..my Beru leads all 6 of them run dead flat along the top of the valve cover, and i dont get any shorts .But if you cant get any other ht leads you will have to isolate the ht cables .Cant understand why you cant buy from a spares shop a have them shipped to you ..those you have are NBG .

You can find Beru just Google search - BERU EUROPE I have tried Bosch first ,, and i was unhappy with them , so i sent them right back because one or two of the plug holders fell to bits .. And Beru is an original Mercedes fitment . Where are you situated ? When i know this i can try and find . a seller closer to you who will post them out . It will be back on early Wednesday ,,its now 8.30 and its time for a spot of tv and a cup of coffee as i have been on all day..
