Alternative plugs when charged


Recommended Posts

If the GB on schricks goes ahead im gonna have one so whilst ive got that area in bits in gonna clean the MAF and hall sensor and put on some monster leads and new plugs

Just wondering what the benifit is of using different plugs? as I understand the cooler plugs from a 1.8t or S2 are favoured but what the advantage of using them?

cheers

The "cooler" plugs transfer heat away from the firing tip faster preventing overheating (as you well know this causes the plug to break down and cause misfire). The same can be said in vice versa about "hotter" plugs which transfer heat away from the firing tip more slowly (these are used on cooler running engines where extra heat is needed in the plug to prevent coking up).
