I am new to Mercedes, Are the spark plug connectors a must if changing the plugs and wires? I have a 2000 c230. Anyone know if I need and if so, which are the correct parts?

Thanks!

connectors are always a nice to have connected to the spark plugs. If you mean do you need to change them, if you are changing wires the connectors come with wires. Unless I am reading your post incorrectly, I might not understand what you are referring to?

I re-read your post, are you talking about the connectors that connect the spark plug wires to the coil packs? They also come with the new wires I would think?

 

I am getting ready to do a plug change, debating on whether to change the wires also, veh has 57K miles. I had never seen such a part sold seperately so I was wondering if it was something additional I needed to purchase if changing just the plugs, or if changing the plugs and wires.
