Sparkplugs

[archangel_7]

Does anyone know where I can find out what kind of plugs the GTI polo takes? I took the old ones out and saw there was no code for them just the VW AUDI symbols. Defiantly don’t want to get them from the dealer as they would be 5 times more expensive I would be guessing.

Your user manual will tell hou what type you need.

My experience with dealers is that they charge no more than any one else, why don't you do some work yourself and ring them and find out.

its no secret that dealers are rip-off merchants. and why would the manual tell you what spark plugs you need? wouldnt it only tell you how to operate the windscreen wipers etc?

anyway to the OP give brian patterson at gti imports a call. he mainly supplies workshops but sells to the public too. his number is 96531114.

need to purchase spark plugs tomorrow, what are the reccomended prices?

[Kai]

3.99 for NGK standards.
19.99 for NGK iridiums.

Try and match up an iridium plug.

is that from the stealership?
