Standard gap should be fine for 99.99% of applications!

Just a bit of feedback.

I fitted some of these about 3 months ago and I think they are shot already.

It won't be the coilpacks as they are fairly new and there is no fault but I think they are just to cold and I get a bit of hesitation at low revs accelerating.

They have been ok but I am going to put the OEM back in and see what happens.

Over and out.

I'm running on NGK Iridium 7's on a Revo Stage 2 K03 GTI and without any problems. I was advised by JKM that 7's were the most appropriate for my mods/power.

I spoke to the manufacturer directly last week and they have advised if the 7s are too cold still, there is an exact match but in 6, so i will just see how the 7s today fair!?

Yes, i have an R Tech Custom Map Stage 2, only had it for about 4 weeks now, and i said, have been running on 6s (Platinum i think) for last 15 mths or so. Idle now is quite rough, ie. since the remap, but that could be down to a number of things, but for £30 or so, i think it might be worth taking a chance, see if it improves!?

15months... how many miles? Plugs will degrade quicker as your running stage 2.

Worth a shot at some new '7's maybe.  :happy2:

TBH, i only do about 6000 miles per year, so have done perhaps 8000 in last 15mths or so. I've nothing to lose i guess by changing to the Iridium 7s...
