Cheapest place for NGK Iridium XI spark plugs?
« on: 07 February 2008, 11:39 »
Hi all just asked Motorworld and they want £60 for my 2.0L 16v GTi ABF engine, surely must be cheaper place to get these plugs from?

If there is please advise.

Thanks!

The best advise is to use VW recomended spark plugs. Just look in your handbook and it will give you the number then just buy them.

Err but who ever uses parts that are recommended by the manufacturer? Thats why there are 3rd party parts that are usually regarded as upgrades or are better like the ones I got.
