Would that gapof 0.64 also apply to the 7 heat range. I am stage 2 k03 and am going stage 3 soon. I will get some 8s once these need replacing.

I run 260hp gti and fitted 8s at the weekend. Measured them and are set at .7. They seem fine

Guys,

Any good advice on the best place or URL's to buy these?
Also, what would the best gap be for an S3 at stage 2+?

Ebay link on the first page

And .7 as they come should be fine.

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.

Got the coils off, at which point i noticed one of my coils (cyl 4, not the one misfiring) was rusty despite being changed less than 3 months ago under the recall:



(Advice welcome about that^.)

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.

0.8 should be the standard gap. I always gap them down to 0.64.
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.
