I'm going to be replacing my coil pack when it arrives and I'm thinking about changing the spark plugs while I'm at it. I'm just wondering what are the best plugs to get for my 2001 1.4i 8v petrol?

Thanks for that.
I did have a search first but there was too many different opinions.
Cheers

This is the problem with lots of people asking the same thing all the time (Not a dig at you).
I always check the forum sections its likley to be in rather than using the search function.

Does that mean any spark plug other than Bosch are good?
I was asking for recommendations on the best plugs, not how to fit them.

If you read Lee's post it says; "Any other spark plugs than bosch, and the coil pack might start throwing a dicky fit
"
Meaning use Bosch plugs, so you got the recommendation you wanted didnt you

The only ones Bosch recomend for this engine are FR7DC+.
Don't know why people put other types in there.

Ill stick with Bosch Super Plus & throw a new set in every 2 years.
Super 4's are nothing special, there old technology & have been around 15 years + now
