NGK Iridiums BKR8EIX ***12k mile update on page 13***
mark53:
I found the BKR8EIX would foul up due not getting hot enough to burn off the carbon deposits

I spoke to Revo about the above differences and was to as long as the car is given a good spirited drive occasionally :driver: running '8's will not be a problem,
the '7's are more suited to a standard gti.

There is a special grease which the stealers should have used - it has only been out about three years - so VW stealers might not yet be up to speed. :chicken:
Here we go - G 052 141 A2 - its only a dinky 20ml tube, and you'll need about 15 beer tokens - but if used correctly, will stop coil rusting, and make insertion and removal much easier.

Why? Is that not old skool practice? :booty:
That was the kind of adjustment when you say, increased the compression, or massively increased turbo boost - and more importantly, with old skool ignition systems with single coils. Modern super high voltage multi coil systems shouldn't really need plug gaps closing at all. :happy2:

Stick with standard plugs on S1 K03 - I tried colder plugs on mine, and I got cold running fouling and misfire.
