what are the iridium ones like and what's the correct part no for the octy vrs ?do you still gap em at 0.8mm and are the pfr6q's platinum

The pfr6q's are the original long life platinum plug.

The iridiums are after market plugs, therfore no vag part number.

You can still gap iridiums at 0.8mm no problems.

AFAIK they should be pre-gapped due to the electrode being very fine? I didnt gap them and the car runs fine.

Yeah you do have to be careful the denso models come with a 0.4mm electrode tip :eek:

Works for me at 0.7mm though -remapped.

What is the ngk version gapped at as standard?

Thats a good question!

When I got my PFR6Q's, all 4 plugs had a different gap... So I guess they're not pre-gapped to anything in particular.

are the iridium ones actually any better can you feel the differance or is it just hype !!!!

What the best plugs to get? Bought a set of Bosch super 4's, they any good?

quiet a variation on gap though!! any recomendations?

:cheers:

stick them in and see what happens.

I got the PFR6Q's and didnt even check the gap i just threw them in

plug gaps on vrs should be no more than 0.8mm.

I blew out 2 coil packs due to plugs being 1.1mm.

I am unsure about the super 4s.

each to their own, and if you feel the need for £££ exotic plugs, then they will all work fine.

You will also find that conventional copper cored NGK BKR7E will work equally as well as any of the rest, only downside is they won't last as long.. but at £7 a set that's hardly a problem

stick them in and see what happens.

Plugs in and all seems well, car idles much smoother.

£21 in halfrauds, but with discount 11.99:D:thumbup:

Looks like the NSK PFR6Q's that came out are the originals so have done 63,000 and look abouty had it. just for info those coils were a pig to get out, nicely stuck in.

I still need to change mine, nearly 68k and no record of them being changed!!

Are these any different, same part number but £10 difference and the expensive one goes on about platinum

They looked pretty bad @ 63k? Apart from idle any difference?

ordered some today £31 inc del from spark plugs co.uk

are they easy to replace? do you just pop out the coil paks and un screw em

and what do you torque em up to

Driving home yesturday..did seem a little smoother generally, but not driven it today, i'll let you now later, oddly though last night drive had better mpg:confused: hmm could be the placebo effect though.

Any update Blanchie?

Going to get some today/next week. Just need to borrow my mates torque wrench so bit of a pain.

Normally they recommend finger tight then half a turn.. but not sure I want to risk it on the octy.

When I changed mine I did finger tight and 1/4 turn, as you say ethos it sounds a bit risky at 1/2 turn. you can always tighten them more later if needed rather than risk stripping the thread

anyone heard of turning the sprak plug gap toward the inlet port thus facing the mixture as it comes in ,i do apologize if this sounds anal
