#3: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 4:43 pm ---- Word of warning:
I have used Euro Car Parts to find various stuff in the past and it's brilliant BUT:
For some reason I got wrong sparking plugs on two different occasions for two different cars.
Be warned as I was extremely disgusted with this.
Oh, and Bosch or OEM only for 206.
#4: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 2:54 am ---- Yeah, ECP have been wrong for me a few times too. Might be going over stealers today so i'll see what the charge for oem.
Taa!
#5: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 10:06 am ---- ok last question with spark plugs lol (hopefully)
The ones from Halfords are bosch ones that don't need the gap adjusting. I know 206's have issues with some spark plugs, but will these be ok?
or should I try and find the normal ones that need the gap checking at 0.9mm?
#6: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon May 02, 2011 10:12 am ---- you don't need to check the gap for a new plug....
gap only need to check if you are going to reuse the plug after cleaning
#7: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 10:19 am ---- ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Glad we cleared that one up then
Cheers!
#8: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Mon May 02, 2011 10:24 am ---- Those are Super4 which have a quadruple ground electrode and are meant to be excellent.
I personaly think they are old technology by now and would fancy Super+ instead.

I popped over pug and they wanted £24 for 4 standard bosch plugs, I can get the ones above for a tenner for 4... so I may as well!
#11: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon May 02, 2011 10:31 am ---- Bosch Super plus plugs where £5.75 for a set of 4 last time I went in Halfords, that is trade card price though!

#14: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 10:35 am ---- Super 4's have always worked well for me
#15: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Mon May 02, 2011 10:36 am ---- Or you could go for these if you're not in a hurry and IF they'll fit your 16v engine.
#16: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 10:44 am ---- nah, ideally I need them by the weekend

Only benefit they give is a longer service life
#20: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 11:15 am ---- for all I know, the ones I have may be less than a year old, but I have no service history! so i'm building it back up slowly!
#21: Re: Spark Plugs.. Author: Surfer333, Location: Cardiff, WalesPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 12:07 pm ---- Bosch Super Plus every time for my 206 GTi.

Depends what type of coil / engine it was
If it was the old 8 valve lump with coil on the end of block & HT leads then NGK would have been ok.

Yep your right. Engine was 2ltr 8v on the 306 XSi - P reg. Quite a good engine though. That Pug lasted a while. I even managed to sell it on for £500. To one very happy guy.
