#1: NGK vs Bosch spark plugs Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 1:42 pm ---- 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 ???

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.

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.

So Bosch list 3 different spark plugs for the GTI 180 lump depending on what fuel its run on.
i use NGK plug and it gave me at least 10% power gain
Were there the NGK Glow+ ones?
that was a bad joke
Shush

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
