Broken Ignition Lead - The Explanation

Bosch replied and said they can't comment by a photo over e-mail. Told me to go to a local dealer.

Dealer looked at the photo, got curious, and had a quick look at the lead IRL. Said they had seen numerous leads break and this was not how it happens. Said this must be an inproper installation - grabbing the lead by the neck with pliers, and then it says snap-crackle-pop. This all makes sense now, as it was an intern at the shop who changed the spark plugs three months ago.

Well, Bosch still wants to replace the #4 lead no-charge.



In other news, today I claybared the windshield and gave it a 5sateesta treatment (rain repellant). Also fitted new wiper blades. Ah, that feeling when cheapo Biltema wiper blades fit no problem and work great. Can't beat an 8 eur set - no big deal to swap brand new blades every 3 months.
