    Spark Plugs for AGU 1.8t

    I hate to do this, but i'm sick of sifting through threads to find what i need so just thought this was the fastest what to get the info i need.

    I'm going to replace my spark plugs on my 1999 golf gti (AGU).
    It has no performance mods.

    I'm just after the names and number of the plugs others have used and have been satisfied with. It currently has Bosch FR7LDC

    Cheers

    >Stock spark plugs NGK PFR6Q stock gap .032"

    --Common replacements
    Autolite 3923
    Autolite 3922 (one heat range colder)
    Denso Iridium IK20
    Denso Iridium IK22 (one heat range colder)
    Bosch F7LTCR
    NGK BKR7E (Race plug, one range colder)
    *avoid BKR7E-11 as the factory gap is too large, .042*

    For every additional 50HP over stock, a general rule is:
    --1 heat range colder
    --gap shrinks by .004
    So, a chipped 1.8T would make good use ofa plug one range colder gapped to .028



    That was taken from the FAQ over vwvortex

    BKR6EKT - Factory heat range plugs with copper cores
    PFR6Q - Factory heat range plugs with platinum cores

    BKR7EKT - Copper cored plugs, cooler heat range better for chipped cars
    PFR7B - Platinum cored plugs, cooler heat range better for chipped cars

    Copper plugs don't last as long as platinum. Otherwise no particular disadvantage. They are heaps cheaper too.

    If you plan to do some mods, even the factory plugs are adequate until you go to a Big Turbo.

    PS I am coming to Adelaide at the end of the month, if you fancied a tune
