rsweeney 40 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 need some good quality ht leads that will last and be fine to take off and on a few times.there are some 7mm leads from dubpower for £35 are these any good ? and are they the same size leads for obd1 and obd2 Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I bought some cheap ones for 65 off eBay a few years ago, worked ok, but lasted around 6 months. Wrecked a few of them simply by changing spark plugs, cheap quality that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.I have no experience with the dup power ones, however they seem too cheap, but need someone who's tried them.From personal experience, go for something good brand to start with. Either go genuine or with someone like Magnacore. I have Magnacore on mine and the quality feels brilliant. Been on ans off so many times and still fit like new. Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Oh, and same leads, however will pay more for OBD1 with dizzy as there's an extra lead from dizzy to the coil. OBD1 with coil however are the same as OBD2 Link to post Share on other sites

mmelville 0 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Got dub power ones on mine. Well worth the coin but too big to fit where the original ones used to go so looks untidy Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I had the big thick dubpower ones with the earth connections and they were no better than genuine ones.So for me go genuine Link to post Share on other sites
mmelville 0 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 The 10mm ones and they are much better than the genuine ones in my opinion. Speak to Storm Developments if you want a technical explanation. Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 dubpower best value for money , i run them on my charged vento Link to post Share on other sites
mushtech 0 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 i would go with craggsy on this genuine all the way i have had cheap ones and they dont last long. i didnt seem to have much with magnacore ones as there made at a factory in kettering. after they had been on and off a few times and you would get a misfire on tickover. brought genuine ones and ticksover sweet as a nut and i use iridium plugs as there better than standard bosh super 4s by far.

rsweeney 40 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 ok then best off with genuine then , but how much are they ? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 VW magnecor. they also have a repair service so when I mashed my mk3 I my coilpack took a massive hit and damaged almost all my HT leads. I kept them. Sent them off and for about 20 came back good as new! Not many people know about there repair service so if your worried about damaging you can rest assured you can get them fixed cheaply Link to post Share on other sites
