Best Spark Plugs?
« on: 15 September 2012, 20:38 »
Hi all, I have spent some time putting new discs and pads all round on the car this week, along with oil, filter and fuel filter change.
I have not yet bought any spark plugs for the motor but does anyone have any reccomendations on the best ones to buy?
Can some plugs give better performance than others?
Any help and links would be great
Its for a mk3 gti 16v 1997
Cheers peeps.

NGK BUR6ET are the correct ones for your GTI.
Replace every 30-40k and all is well. Platinum or Iridium aren't any better plus the BUR6ET have exactly the correct properties in terms of heat rating and so on...

They look like correct ones, just google that part number and see if they are BUR6ET. Then they are correct.

NGK for me. Every 10k they get replaced, about £11 for a set of 4 off ebay.
