Title: New make HT leads?? better than my VAG ones
Post by: MK4_20VT on 26 May 2005, 11:45

Just swapped my rotor arm, dizzy & HT leads today & the performance from them is wicked.

with these new HT leads you don't take the tops of the spark plugs & now i'v got better response ;-)

They are made by Intermotor, even the rotor arm has a bigger area to spark :-)

For a K-ket these are great

Before it got taken over by G&S, the guy in the local VW parts shop showed me the difference in quality between genuine Bosch/Quantum parts and Intermotor stuff.

I'd suggest looking for yourself.  Intermotor stuff is to keep the car going long enough to sell on/scrap.  Bosch stuff lasts 100k.  Irony is, they cost the same.

VAG leads all the way, except i just bought some silicon leads that use VAG ends so should be good enough

My VAG ones I just replaced (that were on for 10 months) covered 8000 miles, had broken down in my dizzy  :angry: AGAIN!!!  :angry: so I needed to swap my dizzy cos of it, it's weird.

As were the leads were black inside, but fine on the spark plugs, the dizzy connections are burnt!?!

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR???

as cheaper leads seem to last 12months longer??
