Doh!!! :rofl:

Well anyway, it's a 5/8" hexagon. I hope this helps somebody even if not Denis!

Getting some fitted tomorrow. Cheers Greek chaps!

You know he's been waiting nearly a year for that reply?

Better late than never and proof that I have the patience of Job! I used to own a Peugeot 505 which needed a very long (circa 8" IIRC ) tubular spark plug socket with rubber grommet to enable the plugs to be extracted from out of sight (almost) in the depths of the cylinder head.

How much do these plugs cost then??

and rich1068,have they made a bit of difference to how your car feels?

i.e.through the **** meter???

many thanks

One of these is excellent for getting the 1.8T ones out.

Could I just point out (again ) that my previous post re: getting them fitted tomorrow, was from 2003

They have since been removed. But cheers to the Greek chaps anyway

I have also removed them since then and tested many others, such as IK24, NGK BKR7E, NGK R7112-8, etc, but it was a good opportunity to inform you about our newly born SkodaClub.GR forum ...

So were any of them any good, Rich or GR_Octavia? Sounds like they weren't, really...

They were and are better than the oem ones ...

The IK24 were the best so far for my setup.

(the fact that I changed them doesn't mean that they weren't working properly but that I like testing various products to find the best for my car)
