Hi Guys, just wondering, ive got a 1998 gti6, i serviced the car a couple of weeks ago and the car doesnt seem to have the same punch or be quite as smooth.
I was supplied single electrode spark plugs but have heard a few people recommend bosch super 4 plugs for these cars, has anyone had any problems like this or any thoughts on the plugs

Cheers

NGK single electrode are fine. The standard ones are single. Bosch Super 4s wont help you, except take some more money out of your wallet.

I'd go bog standard Peugeot or NGK every time unless its forced induction.

Pug used to have different plug many years ago but then changed them - buggered if I can remember what the old pug code was though ?

Thats the new code ?

They used to sell a different plug years ago ?

Just found this thread so bit of a revival.

Out of curiosity i thought i'd try some iridiums. I have researched in to them alot so understand them quite well now. Anyway they are now installed and they work fine, I wasn't expecting BHP gains but one thing i have noticed is they seem to make the engine pull better from lower rpms.

One thing that's bugging the shit out me though is this. When the car is being driven around town my oil temp never used to exceed 80oC until you opened the taps but with the iridiums it now runs at a constant 90oC and won't budge any lower. Is it just a coincidence or is it that the iridiums are making it run hotter???

Some may see this as a silly question but i just thought i'd ask. Personally i can't see a spark plug making the oil temps run slightly higher but as said from switching plugs this is what i have noticed.

Any thoughts?? Many thanks

Matt.

I run NGK Iridiums in mine and have done for years...

It doesn't make a difference to the running temp although like you say it does seem to have a positive effect on the lower RPMs.

Thanks guys.

Well the plugs i have bought are denso iridiums. As said i didn't buy them expecting power gains just thought I'd give them a shot.

As said i can't for the life of me see how they could affect the oil temps.
