Best Spark Plugs?

are these also the right plugs for the AAM engine 1,8?

[itavaltalainen]

Plugs compatible for AAM are:

Bosch W8 LTCR with gap set to 0.9-1.1mm
Beru 14GH-8 DTUR with 0.7-0.9mm gap
NGK BUR5ET with 0.7-0.9mm gap

I also use NGK, the ones I ordered have three prongs on the top, car seems to be alot more responsive mainly done to the fact I gave it a full service but I'd still say there good plugs

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...

Are they correctly gapped out of the box or do they need adjusting ?

Always check gap when fitting plugs. Too large and you can get misfires and overload the crappy mk3 coil.

As far as I remember BUR6ET are pre-set to 0.8mm - GTI engines (2E, ADY, AGG) call for 0.7 to 0.9 so should be OK. But it's always worth checking... feeler gauges are very cheap nowadays....

Is it the same gap for ABF engines?

[sharki786]

as far as i know (i asked a few mechanics & retailers) they do come pre-set & 0.7mm or 0.8mm are bang on!!

[itavaltalainen]

ABF should be between 0.6 and 0.9 depending on plugs.

bosch f5 dpo r 0.6-0.7mm
champion c6 vpyc 0.8-0.9mm
ngk bk7eku 0.8mm max or pgr6q 0.7-0.8mm

just wondering why the beru plugs are so much cheaper. i plan to buy from eurocarparts.

or is it worth spending the extra cash on the ngk plugs....as they will save by giving better mgp?
