bluemotion 39 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) last sunday i've changed spark plugs for ngk-s (this simple job took me such a long time compare to a 10 min spark-plug change on my old 16v rado and yes i had a removal tool) i looked a bit closer to ht leads and deffo need a new set! my bad i should change plugs and leads straight after buying the car. here's a question: what ht leads are good, red and fit in the plastic gaps on the engine cover? checked bosch and beru and they come in black, magnecor has a red ones but they are 8.5mm (so rather won't fit the plastic cover) and a competition use only. please help!

dom.joy 87 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 If you cut or file the tabs 8mm fit.I bought my blue ones from a company on ebay, they are listed for passat vr6 but fit fine and are good quality. All work as they should. Link to post Share on other sites

c00k 435 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think red and blue are now obsolete, And they only sell black at main dealers and TPS. But I'm not 100% sure. MJ Vr6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bennyk 1,238 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 My local TPS said that plug leads were obsolete for the vr6 recently, before I even got into talking about colours? I wanted red ones! bluemotion 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted red ones! that's exactly what i've been told over the phone. the colour choice was between black and black but managed to get the red ones from the local vag place. at least they should be red. anyhow will see on saturday morning Edited March 25, 2015 by bluemotion bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
science 7 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) For red leads search German or US eBay for Bremi VR6 leads. Edited March 29, 2015 by science Link to post Share on other sites
