I went to a car shop today for some new spark plugs, they had the 3 electrode ones and single electrode ones i got the 3 elec ones 16 but they were the wrong size, same thread, but where the socket fits was alot bigger the socket that fits the s/plug is too big to fit into the s/plug hole the lad was addament they were the right ones but obviously they aren't. Whats going on whos right ???
take the old one in to show him - call him a w**ker and go to a proper shop i use bosch fr56 in my kr/abf bitsa engine bcp6et ( NGK) for the kr .... guessing here was a long time ago
Got some of these the other day for my 16v. Do you need to set the gap on them or will they be correct out of the box? Tricky with three electrodes but should check I suppose?
You can check them but you need wire gauges (round feeler gauges). They should be right out of the box, just to check have a look at them end on and see if the gap is same on all 3 electrodes as the chances of all 3 being off are pretty slim.
Cheers guys I will go and find my Nail gun!! The ar$e in the shop was still certain they were the right ones "I used to have one, & they are the right ones" don't know what he uses to change his plugs then, (a 13mm drill bit by the sounds of it) I got some from him in the end fron a "Syncro" they, apparently are the only ones that have the 10mm dia plugs & every other Gti are 14mm what Nobbers sort it ahhht Checkpoint car accesories in Mold & Queensferry you are this months shoite shop of the Month
No way! i had exactly the same problem with the same bunch of joey bast**ds. The t**ser gave me the wrong plugs twice and swore they where right because he used to have one... They also got the wrong CV boot in three times and tried to charge my younger bro 35 quid for a pair of front pads for a mini. I'd burn the place down if i knew i could get away with it THEY MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL Where you from Deacon????????
