Good info. I just changed my pollent filter. Mine was thick with muck!

Blowers working loads better now then? Ideal for summer

what are the plastic things on the top of my engine then. they have a nut with wires on them. i was told the car doesnt have spark plugs as such

never seen it before in all my years. anyone shed some light at all. its a 99 1.8 turbo if that helps

Coiklpacks? AGU engines are bolt down AUM / AUQ are just push down. Your sparkplugs are under these.

nice one. i did look and realised what they were straight away. these have been replaced (apparentely quite expensive) but no idea about spark plugs

is the code bkr6e for a 1.8 turbo?

I use the NGK 201 pack on my AGU 1.8T

thanks all. what about the bosch super 4 plugs?

my coil packs have a nut on. is it normal for the connectors to be greased. im getting a bit of hesitation when its cold so not sure if they should be greased when i do the plugs?

I don't want to post on a sticky but...  on the 1st page the best sparks are referred to as NGK201 from Hal or the same from ECP part 408440060 (http://www.eurocarparts.com/search/408440060/p/home)

When I use the car selector it says these sparks won't fit my Golf (only '97 '98 '99) and the correct ones would be ECP part 408440040 which are twice the price!  I have the AUM GTI-T (year 2000).  So either ECP have their knickers in a twist and Hal NGK201's are right, or the other way round.  I don't fancy spending £40 on sparks can someone advise as I can't be the only one to see this?  Thanks.

Hi i just did a service on my 2004 1.8t with help from this forum and with the spark plugs standard ones are NGK PFR6Q(6458). yet you can use a upgrade plug IFR6Q-G(5648) leaving the preset gap at 0.7mm on the upgrade plug.
