Mercedes Benz Tech Tips

Do you experience hard startup with your Mercedes Benz 450SL? If the trouble is not about a low charging alternator, something’s apparently wrong with the ignition system. One of the vehicle’s vital components which need to be checked when such problem occurs is the Mercedes Benz 450SL spark plug wire. This is the component which conducts electricity from the distributor or ignition coil to the spark plug. Spark plug wire is basically a cable that transmits about 20,000 volts or more to ignite the operation of the starting system.

Early spark plug wire design interferes with the operation of radio and television reception due to the high voltage conductivity of its metallic material. In this regard, a secondary circuit is integrated where a resistor spark plug or special resistor type ignition cable is required. Significantly, resistance capacities for different ignition systems are designed specifically in order for adequate electricity to still reach the spark plug. However, modern spark plug wires are already of various materials, wherein voltage conductivity ranges only at a favorable rate.

  • Since voltage conductivity of spark plugs is already regulated with their design, they are less resistant to the electrical flow because the resistor cable will still trap some of the power transmitted. High-performance Mercedes Benz 450SL spark plug wires normally offer less resistance than the original ones, thus, sufficient amount of voltage will make it to the spark plugs. Most of high-performance spark plug wires feature reliable insulators that are able to withstand elements that could lead to electrical loss, consequently weakening spark at the plug gap. And with their capacity to resist electromagnetic interference, the other electronic devices aren’t disrupted.

    Yet, if your original or high-performance Mercedes Benz 450SL spark plug wires are already damaged, The Benz Bin always has the best units to replace them.
