which spark plugs

Post by richtbiscuits » 15th February 2017 - 8:33pm

What is the correct spark plug for my W code type 4 FI 1700 engine? My plugs are in the car and I want to order some more. vw heritage do WR8CC (long reach) and W8CC for type 4 1700-2000. Anyone got a recommendation or anywhere else they get their spark plugs from. Thanks.

Bosch W7CC or NGK BP6ES are your best choices.

Not sure where you are getting the slightly hotter w8 listing from - heritage are listing the WR7CC for type 4 engined buses (the R meaning a resistor is built in)
