After reading this thread - http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/new-a3...erature-comparisons-6s-7s-8s-s3-2-0t-8p2.html

Are the these the correct NGK Iridium BKR6EIX that are needed for the MK2 Cupra? http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m18b571s1232p15802&rs=gb

I read the new plugs for the Cupra are a step colder so BKR7EIX, but the 6's look to be better condition.

h mate , its the cupra R plugs that are a step colder , tbh there is nothing wrong with the standarrd plugs , tuners who i have spoken to say the same and changing is not worth the cost.

Do you know how much the standard plugs cost?

I found this relating to the temp change to BKR7EIX - http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/tfsimisc.htm

I have noticed a single misfire will driving. Its only done it 3 times in the past few weeks so i thought I would start with the plugs as they're over 3 years old now and done over 20k.

my standard plugs dont even last 6,000 miles all this changing of plugs can be quite costly me rekons

Your car is a bit special though isn't it rob? I'm gonna change mine when I get my intake done in the next month or so as iv done 30k And almost 3 years and not changed them yet.

CDL engine code cars (FL Cupra and Cupra R) share plugs. There are three options, the latest ones quite possibly being the better ones.

What size is the spark-plug socket that's needed for the Cupra?

Is the electrode gap 0.030?

thought it was .080?

spark plug socket is the small one 13mm?

 

[Donnyboy]

I was going by this - http://www.golfmkv.net/blog/archives/9#

You will need a 16mm hex socket.

The standard gap is:

0.80 millimeters (metric)
.032 inches (imperial)

Thanks.

see i knew i was right
lol lol

Are these the correct plugs for the Cupra? They are the same heat range as the standard Bosch....but cheaper.

i thought the 7's were 1 degree cooler?

 

[Donnyboy]

These are both 6's and the same heat range as standard.

one is BKR6EIX11 and one is BKR6EIX. I think it should be the BKR6EIX

What's the general opinion on which plugs to use, are the ngk iridiums any better than the oem platinum ones (bosch I believe)?

 

[kirkyboy3]

what plugs upgrade would you recommend for a 56 plate FR TFSI???

Thanks

Dan

 

[invisiblekid]

Think the general consensus among tuners now is that the OEM Bosch plugs are fine, isn't it?

 

[dazjb69]

That's what I thought.
