I'm trying to find the right plugs for my fabia. 2017 fabia 1.2 tsi 66 kw. 

 

NGK 93231 are what autodoc is giving as one of the recommendations but looking on this forum it seems like i should have 94968. 

 

Appreciate any help here.

My wife has an August 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI 110PS and it came from the factory fitted with NGK PZKER7A8EGS which it seems is known when in a trade pack of  4 plugs as NGK 94968

 

When I replaced them, at the 4 year point I think that this plug had been revised into PZKER7BEGS which when sold in a trade pack of 4 plugs is called NGK 93231 - though it does seem strange that an "improved" version of plug results in it going from a trade pack reference 94968 down to 93231 - but maybe such is life!

 

Finally, I would think, if all the above is true, that if you tried to buy in NGK 94968 you would get supplied NGK 93231.

 

I hope that helps, I used a Google search to find out what "NGK 94968" was in terms of the actual spark plug product type number, the facts about the newer version or alternative version comes from using a VW Group parts listing which showed that the VW Group part number also changed to reflect the change in the NGK product type version numbering, and what I ordered was what the latest NGK website said was correct for that car - from my online sparkplug supplier, I did not receive aftermarket NGK labelled spark plugs, but genuine VW Group same plugs.

 

Bother your 90PS engine and my wife's 110PS engine use the same spark plugs.

I've just checked online on the UK based website that I bought my "B" version plugs from, and while they still quote the original "A" pack and plug numbers, further down the page it quotes that it has been revised to the "B" version.

Thank you rum4mo. I thought I'd check before ordered... I can never trust these auto part shops.

Looking at our data the NGK 94968 is no more and has been replaced by the NGK 93231 as mentioned above.

Anyone use Bosch plugs in this engine? 

 

With my wife's mk 2 8V 1.2 TSI, I used Bosch (they were cheaper) and it has been fine. 

 

I was planning on doing the same with mine when the time comes.

Nothing wrong with Bosch, as long as they are the recommended plugs for the vehicle they will be fine.

That's what I thought. Bosch generally don't make any rubbish and I half expected Bosch to be standard supplier for VAG.

I've never found any good reason to move away from what VW Group used at the factory in terms of spark plugs, I've used Bosch frequently in the past when running "bangers" and Bosch plugs were as cheap as chips in Asda though.

 

One point I'll make here is, while a company or brand can claim to be an OEM supplier to any car manufacturer, it will tend to use that claim to support it being chosen for replacement parts for areas of that car that it never ever was a factory supplier for.

 

I've bought many Bosch power tools and at least even when used for light duty as a DIYer, some of their stuff is really nasty and built from  unknown supplier parts - battery drill motors being one!!

 

Horses for courses really, I think nothing of buying Bosch wiper blades, COPs I only tend to buy what was originally fitted  same for drive belts.

 

So that means NGK for spark plugs and Lambda sensors for me then.

Very happy to use and recommend Bosch. I have been using their plugs, oil and air filters for many years on numerous cars with no problems. They are the cheapest brand that I recognise and I can buy them easily online.

 

The only exception is pollen filters. I will buy any old brand, because it is just a pollen filter. Cheaper the better.

Mann Frecious pollen filters will stop the smells as well as fill the space, we drove past muck spreading today - no issues!  I agree that in general which brand of pollen filters makes not much difference, but Mann Frecious ones do work.
