Finally got the plugs out!!

[Thom89]

Origional plugs are in good condition, and show that they are doing there job properly, I'd be happy if they came out my car, they are also the correct plug type of to run in a 16V...
New plugs are incorrect for a 16V

i think Joe is just happy he has managed to change them for new ones as after all the trouble he has had with tools is an achievement in itself!

Really? I got them from Euro car parts and thats what they had if they aren't the correct ones have you got a link for the correct ones as dan said im just happy at the mo that i managed to get them changed out

looks like you had BKUR6ET's in there before

NGK recommend either BCP7ET (KR engine) or BKUR7ET (PL engine?) either way the 7 relates to a higher temp spark plug. Both are triple electrode just like your originals.

These are bad plugs! (Excuse the hair on it, I pulled them out of the bin to take a piccy).



And as Thom said they're not right for the 16v. I used NGK BKUR6ET-10 for the ABF,. THis is taken from NKG's website.

GOLF MK2 (84-->91) 1.8   KR / 16 VALVE   85 –> 91   BCP7ET   
GOLF MK2 (84-->91) 1.8   PL / 16 VALVE   10/85 –> 10/91   BKUR7ET

I always get my plugs on ebay. £10 gets you 4 brand new ones if you look well enough
