NGK Iridiums BKR8EIX ***12k mile update on page 13***
fab5freddy:
I know there meant to be pre-gapped, but did you check the gap was correct before install?
gigolo456:
had them fitted by an independent VW, etc Specialist and as far as i know, they were 'gapped' at the standard 0.8mm, which apparently is supposed to cover 99.99% of situations. Wondering though, although wouldn't even know how, if i should change the gap!!?? :confused:

....If they work, don't mend them! I don't think that changing the gap should be done unless by an expert with the right tools. If the gap is not what it's supposed to be, then wouldn't you feel that something is wrong and needs mending?

^^^ not sure if you read the earlier post Robin, but think that's the point, he's having trouble starting the car. :innocent:
gigolo456:
cheers Freedy, yes, if i leave the car for more than 24hrs, it's slow in starting, totally different to how it was with the Platinum 6's. I wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact that the car had a custom map 5 wks ago whilst the 6's were still in!? Just seems a huge coincidence in my eyes anyway that i've only had starting problems since upgrading to the 7's... :sad1:
