Spark plug gaps
AJP:
Following on from my misfire issues which a few of you have been advising me on:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=108462.msg1050359.msg#1050359
I'm going to pull the plugs tomorrow, hopefully. Assuming I can get hold of a set of plugs before then - Bosch 101 905 631H or NGK BKR7EIX (they're the right part numbers aren't they?)
Will they need gapping, and to what? I think I've read that the NGK plugs come already gapped, but for a standard car? Car is Stage 2 k03.

No. Just throw them in. :happy2:

Ta mate. I've got a feeling new plugs will cure the symptom rather than the cause, but we'll see!
bonelorry:
Don't fit the Bosch plugs, NGK BKR7EIX or the OEM NGK ones.
As said just throw them in, They are pre-gapped and if you try to re-gap them you can break off the Iridium coating!
AJP:
Ok, just been trawling local places for the NGKs and got some BKR7EVX. They said they were superseded by the BKR7EIX but are the same. Just bought them, not really thinking.
However, it says PLATINUM on the box. Not... iridium. F*cks sake. Should I be taking them back or will they work?!
