OK so i bought 6 spark plugs from vx, but i've just realised after doing the right bank that i've got 2 different types, 9195868, which i have fitted and it works fine and then 3 of 93176801, is this ok to fit to the left bank or should i go back and swap them?

do they all have the same amount of electrodes?

THis is the wierd bit, the ones i took off had 2! The ones i fitted in their place had 4, and the ones i haven't fitted have 1! You'd think they'd give me the right ones! The ones i have fitted work fine with no missfires.

Take the single elecrrode plugs back for exchange with the correct plugs. Always check what the dealer has given you, you can't trust them all!

Thanks :-) i'll swap them tomorrow and do the fun passenger side

Great help on here as always! Don't know what i'd do with something going wrong on my car every week without you guys!

I believe twin electrodes are the slightly better, as the 4 tend to shield the spark a tad too much.

As said many times here, but I've never had a problem with my electrode plug even though it should have twin electrodes. :-/
