Bosch Super 4s

[Browny]

Apparently these are the new be all and end all of plugs..

They fit older cars, which include the 182.. anyone have any views? tried them?

 

[Fred@BTM]

s**t and don't work well on the F4, you'll get misfires eventually

 

[Browny]

Haha fair enough, im about to swap out my sparky's so i was just seeing what peoples views are..

 

[Advikaz]

Absolutely w*nk

 

[Dave..]

Apparently they're the ones to go for on the Audi, I've seen mine has Bosch in at the minute, but I'm firmly in the "not broke don't fix it" mind set.

Use the oem spec NGK plugs only mate

NGK PFR6E-10

 

[Craig_B]

They come in my ph1 and came straight out for some NGK ones off G172

 

[BillBoy]

Never heard a good word about them.

 

[Advikaz]

They're suicidal in fords.

Denso Iridium Power are the ultimate in my opinion, i use these in mine, sorted my low rpm miss fire and runs like a dream since with a smoother idle plus they last alot longer. I took a 4 year old set out mine the other months (mine gets driven very hard 24/7) , looked still like new after maybe 40k-50k of miles, but i swopped them anyway. I used opie oils to get mine recently, very good service.

I did use boosh plugs once in my 172, but as stated i dont rate them and they were highly screwed when i took them out.

Super 4's killed my coil pack... & ate my hamster

Used them in a Gold about 12 years ago, not new at all, they may look Fandango but are not, reasons Fred mentions.

Audi run NGKs not Super 4s

I've seen loads of issues with denso plugs over the years, always fixed with a set of NGKs (and thats loads of different cars and engines). No better than super4s IMO

The problem with the super 4 is they look a good idea in theory (ie 4 electrodes so it should last 4 times as long between changes as it should swap to a new one each time one wears) but they simply arent the same quality as the original items, so you have 4 gash electrodes instead of 1 good quality platinum (on in denso's case iridium) one.

Always wondered about Denso as I can get them for virtually nothing :/

Whats your thoughts on the denso's iridium's chip? do you rate them

Must confess I have never tried them in the 172, have found them very useful on high boost or big nitrous hit configuration on other engines though, so I would expect they are probably ok, but given how good the standard plugs are, I havent felt the need to experiment.

Meant to say Golf not Gold.
