Nology Silver plugs - reported problems?
berg:
I saw in another thread Alex was going to give some feedback on the above but dont think he has?
I had an issue last week and only just got the car scanned today - just came up as random misfire so no hint it could be throttle body or PCV and car seems to be driving ok now.
Was wondering if could be due to the Nology's as if they run colder like the NGK 8's and i had been tootling round due to rush hour but then later on when trying to boot it they had got a lot of carbon deposit on and did not take kindly to the request? Not had chance to take them out and inspect them yet but will be doing so.
Anyone else swapped back to NGK 7's??

I swapped back to NGK Iridiums.
I would advise anyone running nology plugs to do the same or just put in similar OEM spec plugs. The problem stems from the fact they have no resistance, so it can play hell with the electrics, accelerating failures.
List of known issues...
Throttle Bodies dying.
Coil Packs melting/blowing up.
Radio Interference.
Intake flapper motor fault code errors

Mmmm not good at all. I thought Alex thought they were the bees' knees? and Nikki too ftm
rich83:
Yes... thats correct. They do work well, and I had no running problems/misfires etc. The issue has been that over time these electrical problems have come up, problems that don't always arise just after fitting.
