Description

BOSCH NOS distributor cap – Mercedes R107 C107 W108 W109 W111 W116 W126 C126 – M100 M116 M117

This original BOSCH distributor cap, also known as a distributor cap, comes from old factory stock and is offered as NOS (New Old Stock).

The distributor cap is manufactured according to the original BOSCH quality specifications. The high-quality insulation materials, precise dimensions, and reliable electrical contacts ensure proper distribution of the ignition voltage to the spark plugs.

Based on our own workshop experience, we prefer original BOSCH NOS ignition parts over many parts from current production. Especially in classic Mercedes engines, the quality of the insulation, the fit, and the electrical contacts are important for reliable ignition and smooth engine operation.

This distributor cap is suitable for various Mercedes eight-cylinder engines from the M100, M116, and M117 series, including versions with KA-Jetronic. This distributor cap is also suitable for certain versions of the Porsche 928.
