Bosh duraterms ;)

If you need other stuff, this site offers free shipping in Canada over $75. I have used them for the last 4 years.. and have over $1500 of items bought from them never had problems. Great company to deal with.. and they get their stuff from Worldpac, same place your local place gets stuff.. and this is generally cheaper on here i find..

First on the list is the one you need ;)

I've used Bosch with good results in the past. Just checking to see if anything better was out there.
Thanks for the info.

I put Bosch duraterms in my 90 about 6 months before I sold it, maybe more than that. I can't remember. I sold it to a friend who drove it for a year, and then gave it back to me, and they were still all glowing strong. I put them in my 91 last year, and every one of them still works perfect. They are good plugs.

I know vwdieselparts.com sells Meyle I believe, and some of the forum members there have used them with good results.

This is for an AAZ, do the Meyle brand support afterglow of up to 3 minutes that the AAZ will command of them?

The Duraterms that Bosch offers has an internal regulator. I had my solenoid fail on my manual system and leave my plugs glowing for well over 30 minutes multiple times till I figured out what was killing my battery...

They still started the car this winter. Any other plug would have exploded off in to my engine with a mere 5 mins of being left on.
