205 GTI - What Spark Plug?

[Justin B]

Hi guys,

I feel a little hessitation when up in the rev range of the 205 (4800-5500rpm) and I was thinking the first thing to do is throw out the champion plugs that I have at the moment, and get some decent ones. I also think that the plugs are slightly too hot.. I'm notsure.

so...

I've had a little hunt around looking at the ngkspark.com.au site, haynes manual and the peugeot parts CD. And from all of this investigation I now have '4' recommended heat ranges for my 205 GTI 8/87. 2 from the CD, 1 from haynes and 1 from the ngk website.

So, the question is

What brand?
What model / heat range?
What gap?

Any help would be good.

Justin

P.s I've heard good thinks about NGK Iridium, however that was in a Saab Turbo. and the swedish are a bit weird?

hi justin,

if money isnt a problem i'd go platinum.

had platinums (cant remember the brand, though) for about 80,000 kays and theyd still be goin strong until i accidently drowned them recently(dont ask).

ive now got basic NGK sparkies but have been told would only last me bout 6 months or so becoz of the amount of driving i do.

part no. for the 205gti 1.9 is 1273 BCPR5E-11

cost me bout 12 bucks the set... not bad, actually.

dunno bout "range" or "gap".

i drive s1 '88

cheers!
