Great quality. I have been replacing the distributor cap on my 1993 Mercedes 190E 2.6 with the Bosch 03240 roughly every 10k miles though these could probably last 2 or 3x that depending on age, driving habits, and weather its subjected to.

Yup! Works well on my 1986 300E.

Well made product, matched the OEM one exactly. Between this, a now ignition rotor and new leads, my ’89 190E runs perfectly again..
