i ve used the denso iridium plugs before in 1.8 t engines lots of companies recommend them after they ve been mapped but lots also say vw ones are as good as any  :smiley:


....ALL the various guys who look after my car say that VW ones don't need replacing for another brand.

But we are forgetting that yellow plugs are the fastest  :evilgrin:

Yellow?  Is that a figure of speech or a particular brand?

mine got changed at the 40k service (car's done 37k miles tho)

got told the original air filter doesn't need changing till 60k tho!  :surprised: :surprised:

i was shocked by that. the nice chick on reception (one reason i still go back to my dealer for servicing lol) offered to have it done if i wanted to tho.

maybe it needs cleaning to get me those extra ponies revo promised!

....She wasn't referring to your filter (you wish!)  :evilgrin:

My VW mechanic friend told me that customers often ask why their car feels as if it goes better after a service and he told me it's always when they've fitted a new air filter.

I have mine inspected every 10k miles as part of my oil change. Spark plugs (VW) changed every 20k miles.
