  • Spark plugs ABY and 3b

    Hallo,

    Since I need new spark plugs for my 3b, I found interesting thing while browsing spark plugs catalogues for Denso Iridium. It says, that for 3b IK22 spark plug is needed (which is colder), and for ABY - they recommend IK20.

    WTFK ? Why same engine with less boost needs colder plugs ?

    Of course while reading the forum, I have read many times that Densos are not good (just because they don't last much), and that damn F5DPOR (don't like them ) is best buy, so I will install those .

    But the question remains - why different plugs are recommended ?

    Sau
    P.S. One day I will put coppers in the AAN . It is inevitable

    I tried the NGK recommended plugs and my car ran crap. Went back to bosch and it was fine.

    Stick with what works, but you never know

      I managed to get Bosch F5DPOR spark plugs for £2 each at GTI International.
      I don't think the saturday boy from German & Swedish knew what they were. He didn't even get suspiscious when I bought 15 of them!

        Local stealer asks about 20E for each. Hope UU will find cheaper source

            Stealer asks 17 EUR for each And if you compare copper and F5DPOR replace intervals - F5DPOR are even cheaper than copper.
