sparkplug question

[Alf Hucker]

Hi my first post and my first seat (Ibiza 1.4s 2001)


if anyone can help ...thank you

i purchased some spark plugs today but there is two types (2 of each)

i have 2.......... Bosch super plus...plus yttrium (yttrium electrode)


i have 2..........Bosch platinum (platinum electrode)

Q is should they be a matching set?

i haven't got much faith in donkey who served me because he has given the wrong coil leads

Im not sure if the Bosch ones actually fit..
I got a set of Bosch Super 4 from Halfords and they were too big

Best place is to get the OEM ones that the car came with
NgK . Just give your reg number to the person. They are around £30 - £35

£35?! You can get the likes of BK7REs (admitedly for a Cupra) for sub £15 for a set of 4

Yes, £35 I did type that figure

Yep the 1.4 is a low emission engine and uses special Platinum NGK spark plugs (PZFR5D-11) anything else can cause coilpack and running problems
