Correct Spark Plugs?

[munster 0]

Can someone tell me what plugs the Haynes manual reccomends for an Mi16 engine?

 

Has anyone had experience with Bosch Super 4s?

 

thanks

I have used super 4's and to be honest there was no noticable difference. You are probably best of going for a set of ngk iridiums in my opinion.

Haynes says Champion RC7BMC, 1.6mm gap for the 1.9 405.

 

The ZX 16v manual says RC7YCC for the 2.0 variant

 

servicebox lists dozens!!!

 

 

I'd just use standard NGK plugs if its not a highly modified example, around a tenner for the set for a 2.0 Mi16, possibly less for the 1.9.

 

NGK's listings say;

 

BCP7ET or BCPR6ET for the Cat 1.9 engine or BKR6EK for the 2.0

They are the only plug I;ve had new which never worked and never had good results with them on any Pug engine my self, I use NGK all the time and touch wood never had any problems

I echo Miles experience; i ran a set for a short while, binning them after one went down after about 200 miles use i have, and always will from now on use NGK and have yet to find a compelling argument to use anything else!

AMEN!!!!

 

BCPR6ES in all of my 205s for the last 10 years, never one issue

Ditto tend to avoid fitting Bosch ones on PSA engines , and especially Champion -> utter crap

 

NGK all the way .. or Eyequem ..
