MaidenVR6 26 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 NGK BKR5EKU. You can get them in a platinum edition as well "BKR5EKUP", but its not worth the money. Link to post Share on other sites
Radostormvr6 2 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Your best bet is getting parts from the states, with $ to £ been so good. I get my parts from www.spturbo.comCheck out his plug leads. Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 What year car have you got? later cars need platinum tipped ones early are best with normal. So the 2 part numbers from NGK are dependant on what year your car. The one ending in P are the platinum ones Link to post Share on other sites

swaper 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Speaking about plugs, according VF Engineering, the recommended ones are Bosch F6DTC ( for hot countries).I live in Greece with my stage II VR2.8 .... Any suggestions ????? Link to post Share on other sites
dubdub 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 This seems to have been a year of change for VWs so you could have a bit of a mixture. On the engine side of things it is easy to tell as it will not have coil pack ignition. Just a distributer. Umpteen other difs also. Link to post Share on other sites
