#1: NGK to BOSCH! Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 11:50 am ---- Car was running a bit lumpy. Not sure how to explain it. Felt juddery when accelerating?
Thought I would change the spark plugs. I bought a set if Bosch super plus from carparts4less.
When I took the old ones out I saw they were NGK. They looked in ok condition but thought I would change them anyway.
The difference is huge! The car feels smooth again and accelerates as I would expect for a 1.4 16v. A pleasure to drive again!!

I think it's the new sparks in general making it better for you, rather than the case that NGK is a downgrade to any other brand
#3: Re: NGK to BOSCH! Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 12:08 pm ---- Yea could be. It's just that I have seen some of the comments on here by long term 206 owners saying that Bosch over NGK for spark plugs is a must??
Who knows......
#4: Re: NGK to BOSCH! Author: bikesforme, Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 4:32 pm ---- Been using NGK plugs for many years and never had a problem, in the motorcycle world they were always the plug to use.
#5: Re: NGK to BOSCH! Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 4:54 pm ---- I think on this forum it's the old story of "My best mate's cousin's pet monkey's ex girlfriend fitted NGK spark plugs and they duffed the coilpack which might have been on the way out anyway"
I am a long term 206 owner - no problem with NGK

But what would she know..

I am not saying they are wrong, it's just that there seems to be a beleif on here that if you fit NGK you WILL get problems, every time.
