Re: [MBZ] 606 glow plugs
Beru, that's the "good" brand. Bigger beefier "nut" part, and Beru publishes a maximum loosening torque of 45 Nm IIRC. I could find no such torque published for Bosch. - Max Charleston SC On Tue, Aug 28, 2018 at 7:20 AM Meade Dillon wrote: > Bosch are not as good as the other brand that I can't remember the name > right now.

Bosch are not as good as the other brand that I can't remember the name right now.

What brand plugs are you installing? I went with Beru, they are the OEM and seem to last a long time. I think they also are pretty strong and less likely to break upon removal.
