What's this about Bosch being better than NGK ??
I went into halfords and had a look through the little books and bosch only list spark plugs for the gti 2.0 but the engine codes state just the 137 engine and doesn't mention the 180 engine code, so I looked in the NGK book and they stated the 137 engine and 180 engine separately, the NGK spark plugs for the 137 have a heat rating of 5 and the 180 has a heat rating of 6 so that show you shouldn't use the bosh in the 180 surely ???

NGK spark plugs + 206 = possible misfires, loss of power & electrical problems.
Its been covered to death on here over the years.
Fit the correct Bosch plugs for the engine in question on a 206.
Use the Bosch automotive website to find the correct spark plug info.

But NGK have been on the go for donkey years !! I can't understand what's different , a plug is a plug and Bosch don't specify a plug for the 180

Fit them & see what happens 
Its been covered to death on here, just do what you want.
Bosch do make a spark plug for the GTI 180 engine if you bother to look.

Bosch also do another 2 different spark plugs for GTI 180 engines running on LPG / CNG.
So Bosch list 3 different spark plugs for the GTI 180 lump depending on what fuel its run on.

I have fitted them and no problems what so ever!! Sure it may run slightly lumpier when cold but who cares I'd tater that than them melt because they can't cope with the heat,
Yeah iv just looked but what's the super 4 code for the 180 engine then because it isn't supposed to be the same as the 137 that's for sure.
What's this code for then?? (what make plug??) FQR7ME
True halfords are a bit pants for parts haha
