best spark plugs vrs mk3 tsi 230 and how to fit

Featured Replies

Hi I'm after replacing my spark plugs as my car has done 44k its booked in with Skoda for a minor service ,

they told me it is due a major service but the only difference is they would put new spark plugs in and a pollen filter .

Pollen filter was changed at 40k so not needed but as it was done by an Audi Skoda specialist that is linked to online servicing they still thing

it should have a pollen filter because £30 , so id be paying £100 more just for spark plugs.

So going to buy my own spark plugs what are the best ones to use and best place to buy from and is there any guides on how to change them?

just to watch and give me any pointers I'm sure id work it out but best to check first can save time in the long run, but no way am I paying a dealer £100 to fit new spark plugs which would probably cost around £50 to public and £20 to them and take around 10 mins to change over . I would like to keep using genuine parts but not paying £80 for cheap reboxed ngk plugs. 

More than likely NGK PLFER7A8EG (94833) for aftermarket (check catalogue). OEM will be equivalent with maybe minor changes like vag label.  Don't know what genuine cost but aftermarket NGK as listed about £50 for 4. Probably 30 min to fit.  You need a plug socket, long reach extension.  Some way of moving the coil packs up as they can stick and be quite tight.

Also a torque wrench to ensure you dont overtighten them.

I just go with bottoming out the sealing gasket and 1/2 to 2/3 of a turn. No more.
