Would these be ok on a standard 2.0 TFSI K04? Or better to use standard plugs and then replace with these once Stage 1 Mapped?

Thanks :happy2:

If its a K04, should be fine  :happy2:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

As some of you may know , at the JKM RR day my car was showing a missfire on cylinder 3.
This morning I went back to JKM for a service and for a set of these plugs to be fitted. Hey presto no more misfire!!! The car feels so much smoother and pulls so much better.
Unbelievably VW suggest a change of plugs every 40000 miles which is a joke. On any car , especialy a remapped car  , acording to JKM it should be every 20000 miles. Lesson learned...

Excellent - glad that it was the cheap fix hoped for on the day.

Did JKM fit temperature '8' plugs, or '7'?

The chaps in the JKM dyno thread suggested JKM don't like to fit the 8s, yet that's what JKM had in the display cabinet. I assumed they'd fit '8' to a mapped K04 as it seems to be the done thing these days.

Not sure if it was 7 or 8 - but I would like to think it was the 8s. It dosen't state on the invoice 7 or 8 just NGK Iridiums. I guess I should have asked the question. Anyway the car now drives and feels as it should so I'm more than pleased  :wink:

got to love the wife test,whenever I do any performance mods I never tell her. had it stage 2+'d the other day and she came back saying the car seems different it makes more of a whoosh noise and accelerates quicker I nearly wet myself . justified the mod to me lol
