Default Triple Electrode Spark plugs

Just a quick question...

KV, 2226cc Naturally Asperated Engine...

What's the code for the Bosch Triple Electrode Spark Plugs...

I think I might be getting close to flooding my single electrode ones now?

Thanks in advance.

Ian

Just been onto GSF regarding my sparkplugs... ordered W6DTC.... cars been misfiring and running abit offpower underload (ian tested this as well) checked sparkplugs today and i'd been sent WR6DC.

Cant send them back and GSF want £3.50+ per plug. Word of warning dont order the plugs from GSF as the W6DTC listed on their site is incorrect and they will send out WR6DC....

Here here!!

Just a small amount of opinion,I use Denso now,the Iriium ones.

Yes theyre £50 a set but you leave them in for 20000 miles so they pay for themselves.

Better performance,in a responsive sense too.

Not everyones going to fork that out though,indeed.

Bit of an eye opener really, but having fitted ( for now ) the old spark plugs from the Coupe which are three prongs affairs, I have run the car now for approx 30mins in total. I wire brushed them up before fitting them. Looked at them yesterday and they are now black!
