What's the best Spark plugs for 2.2 petrol.
« on: 25 February 2013, 19:48:28 »
As title, Was thinking about getting Bosch or something. Nothing wrong with the ones in the car at the moment but I don't exactly know when they where last done.. Any suggestions (preferably somewhere online).

Not necessary, no gains to be made apart from alleged longer interval between renewal/change

Forget the marketing hype. 4 electrode plugs are a waste of time. They'll come loose long before their service interval, so not worth paying the extra, and suffering the downsides (cost, shielded spark).

I exclusively use GM twins, though both cars are LPG, so need strong spark. Tend to change them at 20k, rather than the stated 40k.

I get them from a dealer, as I'm getting sick of fake crap on egay now.

Haven't had any Champion pugs for years

Not suprised at those prices.

Why ask for advice when you just ignore it?  I agree with TB - GM twins more than adequate and cheap on TC - get yourself a TC mate, you'll save a fortune ;)

No doubt that advice will be ignored too ::) ::)
