Just to double check (as always).
My 1.6 16v is a TU5JP4 block and according to halfords needs an 80kw nfu TU5 JP4 spark plug?
ie...
www.halfords.com/webap...yId_165736
and the gap required is 0.9mm.
Cheers all

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.

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?

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

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.

Bosch is phasing Super 4's out from there product line up.
I was fitting Bosch Super 4 plugs 14+ years ago, thats how old they are
