Sparkplugs

[archangel_7]

Does anyone know where I can find out what kind of plugs the GTI polo takes? I took the old ones out and saw there was no code for them just the VW AUDI symbols. Defiantly don’t want to get them from the dealer as they would be 5 times more expensive I would be guessing.

Your user manual will tell hou what type you need.

My experience with dealers is that they charge no more than any one else, why don't you do some work yourself and ring them and find out.

its no secret that dealers are rip-off merchants. and why would the manual tell you what spark plugs you need? wouldnt it only tell you how to operate the windscreen wipers etc?

anyway to the OP give brian patterson at gti imports a call. he mainly supplies workshops but sells to the public too. his number is 96531114.

need to purchase spark plugs tomorrow, what are the reccomended prices?

[Kai]

3.99 for NGK standards.
19.99 for NGK iridiums.

Try and match up an iridium plug.

is that from the stealership?

On the dealership, tell them to pull their head in...Go to Repco, Autopro, or Autobahn.
That plug(BKUR6ET) is what is recommended for the VW 1.8T engine in the NGK catalogue. PFR6Q is probably another brands part number.


Beru's part number is 14FGH-DTUR.
Denso's part number is K20PBR.
Torch's part number is K6TJC.

aparently that was the part number on the NGK plug when they took it out?

did you replace yours with the one that was reccomended?

Ok, I put NGK BKUR6ET Plugs in my 1.8T (AGU)

After searching, this is what I found;

- NGK BKUR6ET (no listing for Polo 1.8T)
- Bosch FR7DPP33 (no listing for Polo 1.8T)
- Denso K20PBRS10 (no listing for Polo 1.8T)

Looked up a US website and for the American Market (Golf / Jetta 1.8T) the OEM Replacement Plug is what you took out; NGK PFR6Q

I would call NGK in OZ or send them an email and see what they come up with as a cross reference for this plug.
Do places like autObarn sell NGK PFR6Q?

Keep us up to date!

No, I think from 2001 the Audi used DBW. Thus a different engine code. AMM, AWM etc. etc.

All VW GTI's (1.8T) use AGU engines (Throttle Cable).
