Spark Plugs

TheDon · October 29, 2004

think its time i changed me plugs. was looking at some 4 point bosche ones in Halfords BD9 or something like that

silly buggers only sell them in packs of 4 for £20!! only need 6 mr!!! lol

are they worth getting or am i better off looking else where?

Nippon Cars = Nippon SparkPlugs ;)

Take Denso iridium Power IK20. They are the best. Around 8,50 Euro/each on eBay.com.

But they are for 30000miles.

Chris, would definitely recommend the IK20, I have these in my car, and the one's Dave are selling are a step up from these I think - you know you need them :)

SC cars will run better with these higher spec plugs, don't bother with the Halfords *******.

dave, man contacted, awaiting return phonecall to confirm.

Is it worth uprating the plug leads at the same time??? as the plugs.

LAtely the car has been feeling like its developing a few flat spots. generaly about 2500-3500 rpm, quite nasty little ones but only when accelerating on the motorway. wanna see if changing the plugs helps.

Dave-Ellen · October 30, 2004

Chris,

IS doesnt have plug leads

Let me know if you want then (plugs) and I will drop them off with the new clutch.

Flat spot..........mine has one from time to time Mark @ TDi says its a feature of the conversion.

Think the s/c has a form of clutch which may cause it ( the judder) sure someone who knows something will be along shortly :winky:

when i first put the supercharger on it was fine, but there is quite a dead range below 3000rpm now. just doesnt feel right.

TheDon · October 30, 2004

never realy looked to see where the plugs got there power from, lol stupid me!!!!

as for the plugs i think i will try the denso ones first then when i got the car doing less miles i will get the HKS ones.

Have you reset the ECU lately mate? I know the dead area will still be there afterwards but my car just felt **** until I reset the ECU a couple of months back - made a BIG difference - not sure if the settings had screwed up or if I had a bad batch of fuel or something but the reset put the kick back!!!
