997 Coils: Bosch vs. Beru

Hi Guys,

I swear I've seen somewhere that posted there are Bosch 997 coils available. My dealer says Beru is all they have. (99760210400) Are the Bosch ones even available / better? Can anyone point me in the right direction or let me know if I'm dreaming.

Thanks,
E

I would like to know the same. I found a website overseas but its not very specific on the application. I basically got the part number off someone that posted it on here. They are about the same price or cheaper than beru.

Contact Kevin at UMW, I think he can source the Bosch parts.

The Bosch were about $20 less (per set) than the Beru units.

Beru is actually cheaper by about 40 bucks if you order them from pelican but I will be going with the Bosch units personally. I've heard of Beru ones cracking and failing in a short period of time. The good thing is that pelican offers a warranty on them for a year or so if i remember correctly
