Broken spark plug F5DPOR

[Sonic]

NGK BKR7EIX seems to be the way to go from reading the info on here.

Just buying some myself after seeing this - they're £6.99 each from camskill + P&P. Seems decent enough to me.

ETA £6.85 from amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/NGK-BKR7EIX-.../dp/B000GZAUX6

Ordered 12.. i'll probably break a few trying to gap them

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230655996789 Don't know if shipping is cheaper or not..? They have been pregapped and has been working fine, at least with E85. So no need to gap them.

I'd probably go with the Amazon ones - that eBay seller has received negative feedback 57 times in the last month!

So if I buy the Amazon plugs for the S6, there's no need to make any adjustment, just fit them?

Cheers,
Tom

I bought one of these as well, £2.16... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-2.../dp/B00865SXQ4

I'm one of the witness.i have had 7 f5dpor broken from 4-5sets of them.
the shortest life one was last 15days after the date of purchase from stealer.
bosch is having problem with their QC.the proof of this is i pulled out the
F5DPORs from one AAN engine and it had stock F5DPORs back from
1994.those 5 plugs didn't have such problems.

I've just bought a set of 5. Fed up of reading what could happen and would be sooo annoyed if the Bosch plugs let me down. For the sake of 30 odd quid, it aint worth the risk.

Play with the feeler gauge sir and this will transform in NGK broken plug

The 2667's are gapped to 6mm already and can be installed straight from the packet? Or do I need to "do" something with them first? From what I can tell, I can just chuck them straight in (not literally of course)

You might want to regap from 6 mm to 0.6 mm for starters.

Haha, would you believe my zero's and decimal points have vanished from my keyboard?

I didn't gap mine as they were fine already. They haven't missed a beat since fitting them.

Thanks Steve

Anyone know if there any difference between the 'Bosch' branded ones and the same plugs that have 'VAG' branding that are available from dealers/TPS?

@Cottis:What power level are you running?
