Title: New spark plugs fitted and car feels great!
Post by: winrya on October 07, 2011, 07:23:09 pm
Like many I've been suffering the odd stutter on acceleration for a few months now.  As my coil packs were changed less than 4k ago, I thought I'd change the spark plugs as they've not been done for 2.5 years (that is if the garage actually did the work they charged me for)

The ones I took out looked pretty wrecked but tbh I have no idea how they look at removal?

Been out for a drive and Idle is now much smoother without the odd engine wobble it used to have.  Car feels much smoother at all revs, so much smoother than I ever remember it being.  Touch wood it stays the same but a well spent £34 in my eyes.

Old ones were Bosch, the new ones are the NGK oem plug which is a stage cooler.  I'll keep the thread updates if anything else changes.
