diarmaid16 1 Posted June 30, 2015 Certainly a bit cheaper! Never heard of that brand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted June 30, 2015 I need some too, been looking for a while, tempted to try the eBay ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 30, 2015 Those eBay ones certainly seem to be a good price. The plastic finish looks quite glossy compared to the OE one but a fair compromise given the price and the fact OE ones are obsolete! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 30, 2015 Not had an issue with my beru leads i bought years ago. Done at least 50,000miles with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2sheds 10 Posted July 5, 2015 Had to take leads back to Euros as they're all same length so would look tatty and end are sealed on, GSF ones are 8 quid more but head on lead 4 screws off so simple sensor fit :) (Tried the eBay ones too but never managed to get sensor on) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted July 6, 2015 Did you go with the ebay ones Andy? I need to replace mine as i had to break them off the coilpack to get them off. Bodged for now but will be needed and ideally i want red ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hassan. 10 Posted July 6, 2015 I've just bought a set of Bosch ones from vw heritage, they also do the blue magnecor ones and Avs do other black ones by Beru? Apparently they are the oems. I've currently got a set of bbt they seem abit flimsy it'll be good to see how they compare with others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 13, 2015 Ended up buying the ebay ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-PASSAT-2-8-VR6-IGNITION-LEADS-FERROFLEX-HI-PERFORMANCE-RED-HT-/111376024327 They are a snug fit and do require the filing down of tabs on Ht lead guides to fit properly in my opinion even though it says they dont. Im impressed though for the price, i got given my postage back for providing pictures of them on my car once fitted as you can see in the ebay ad. Car feels a lot more alive i dont know if its just in my head though as its a new part. Anyway thumbs up from me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted August 13, 2015 I have a spare set of BBT leads if anyone wants them. Just plain black..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted August 13, 2015 I've just bought the following - Bremi are OEM quality and are red. http://www.ottocarparts.com/shop/parts/101454-bremi-ignition-cable-kit-997.html I'll let you know how I get on. VW Classic parts can do the coil pack leads, but the distributor version ones are NLA apparently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
