and how will you know which resistor failed?
you might get a misfire code but I haven't seen that happen...
so you would need to test each. fun!
I didn't say the Bosch didn't include boots, sorry if my post wasn't clear.
you will need to remove boots, slip into grommet, reinstall boot

I'll be testing each resistor as I assemble the wires.
BTW, I'll also test the old and new Beru wire at work. We just got a very nice breakdown tester.
Working on these is fun, so it is hardly a chore.

not sure what ya mean but my only point is that these are a maintenance item and part of the complete job.
I will be doing a 60K maintenance on my cab soon and will be replacing the wires with a Beru set.
I like working on these cars (maybe too much) but really don't enjoy the tedious nature of aligning and R&Ring each of the 12 wires and their related components. To each their own...

I meant you could have a failed resistor cap and not even know it even after you've installed a new set of wires weeks before.
What I'm saying is I don't see the point to changing a complete harness when the plug caps with resistors are in good shape and can be re-used.
Once I have my harness together, its no more difficult to install it than a ready made set.
I'll let you know how it turns out...this job is a walk in the park.

The odds are much greater that it will fail after many miles/years of exposure to a harsh environment
This is why they are replaced with the rest of the assembly
I am not saying it's "hard", just tedious... in my opinion.
Glad you are looking forward to it... that is what matters. Enjoy!

I don't know if this answers your question but the ends on these things un-screw. That is the wires themselves screw into the attached ends. It makes it much easier to install the tin grommets but for myself I would much rather get a complete new Beru set with all the grommets and clips in place. It makes a already tedious job much easier.

After my experience with Amazon I would neve buy a part from them again! Spend the money with FD.

Mark, I've bought stuff off eBay etc. The number of times I've had an issue with any mail order outfit I can count on one finger in the last 20 years...sort of like not having AAA and saving 35 years of dues while only needing one $112 tow in that time period. Maybe I'm lucky.

Exactly, I can tell you it was an absolute hassle with my experience because they were selling a product they were not an authorized dealer for. In my situation Bilstein would not work with them or me. Good luck with your purchase. Hope all goes well.
