ingham 5 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 leads, vw ones the best but pricey (are copper core)plugs,dont get plugs from stealers .NGK bkr5ekup are ones to ask for at parts counter Link to post Share on other sites
magman 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Leads ? I don't have no leads (24Vv)As for plugs, I went with NGK BKR5EKUP. $12 a piece.Not sure what they would cost in the UK but they work a treat.. Link to post Share on other sites

Justicevr6 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I know these are not the one's you guys mentioned but a friend of mine brought round some Champion RC10PYP4 and said they are also the right plug to fit a P reg VR6 Sharan,the best thing is they are free but no good if they do not fit,I have tried searching for cross reference but cannot seem to find if these will fit.Dose anyone know. ?!

pinto 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 As to spark plugs.. the best place ive seen is eurocarparts , very reasonable....I have a set of Bosch 4 electrode copper core plugs to fit in mine, but im not sure of the serial number ?I'll have to find out Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 im not sure what sparks are the best, but the best HT leads are the red coloured BERU leads from VW. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6_Absy 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Red ones from VW cost me Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimatetune 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 i would not use any other plug but NGK, they are the best full stop!, either platinum or iridium and go for one head range colder as they will take more abuse. Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Im dealing with a gent who makes bespoke lead sets in 10mm Race grade carbo-silicone leads' date=' as I need a set for my XR4x4 Turbo technics - and he'll supply them for just £55 a set !compare that to the price R-10 leads from magnecor would cost !Im only speculating, but I'd guess a set would be about £50, i'll find out if peeps are interested.Put any interest in this thread [/quote']Only 1 problem with 10mm leads- they dont fit in the guide rails at all!Personally i think Magnecor are the best quality- plus you get a 10 year guarantee! They are rather expensive though at around a 100 quid.Whatever you do dont go to Eurocarparts of GSF for leads (the black ones!) I bought a set despite what people said on here and i got my fingers burnt! They started arcing out after about 2 days.... Plus the end of the lead came off in my hand- shocking.....

Ultimatetune 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 got to agree Magnecor are the daddies! Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 red beru vw ones are pretty good too, my black leads have seen better days, probably becuase of all the pulling out's ive had to do over the last few weeks heh. Link to post Share on other sites
