Spark Plug Poll
« on: September 29, 2014, 11:08:18 pm »
Been running the NGK PFR7S8EG (1675) Laser Platinum for a while and have been fine, but can get the OEM Bosch for £10 cheaper, any reason why not?  Or perhaps the Iridiums offer something else...

NGK PFR7B dbl.plat's are the best I've run...so I cannot place a vote for one on your selection.

50k miles and just installed a new set 4k miles ago.

They are OE plugs for a 2010 Audi S4 3.0L supercharged motor...and they are recommended by my tuner and others to run with an aggressive tune. They never misfire and I still have the first set out in the garage. I only changed them out per my own maintenance schedule.  :happy2:

That's one of the reasons I put it on the poll tbh... after having problems when I fitted the D4YS... so yeap, whoever voted for the Nologys put something else in asap. :happy2:

Iridiums have been causing issues to those with tuned mkv's and resulted in tuners(APR, etc.) requesting tuned customers to stay away from them...here(states).
