I know that I should only get bosch plugs but can anyone tell me whats the difference between normal bosch plugs and super bosch plugs and will they make a difference I have a 1.4
Thanks

Super 4 just give a longer service life.

#5: Re: Advice on sparkplugs Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Wed Mar 27, 2013 2:17 pm ---- about 10-15mins it took me. Just take your time and do it properly. special care to screw it in place without forcing it else you'll ruin the threading.

You will be glad you did it!

If your diy fitting them, take the ratchet of the extension + spark plug socket & spin the new spark plugs in using your fingers on the end of the extension to avoid cross threading the plugs, do the final tighten with the ratchet.

#9: Re: Advice on sparkplugs Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Wed Mar 27, 2013 2:45 pm ---- Its one of the easiest things!!!! It would be quite hard to get these wrong! Even I managed to do it first time okay!!
#10: Re: Advice on sparkplugs Author: ruby_the_206, Location: LincolnshirePosted: Wed Mar 27, 2013 3:00 pm ---- Ok I might attempt do I need any special tools and do I disconnect battery or anything before? Where are they located?
#11: Re: Advice on sparkplugs Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Wed Mar 27, 2013 4:02 pm ---- Will be slightly different if your engine is the 8v, but same principle. Though don't feel pressured to do it lol, If you're not confident 100% then probably best getting someone else to do it. Tbh, garages shouldnt really charge more than 20odd quid.
EDIT: yes for sure battery would need disconnecting and BSI shutdown/restart procedure if your 206 is multiplexed

Also id be carefull buying anything online. Sparkplugs would be easy things to 'Fake', just like Osram nightbreaker bulbs.
