Spark Plugs

[Tim]

Are MK1 and MK2 spark plugs interchangeable ie are they the same fitment?

Dialogys show as being the same part number for both MK1 and MK2

Thanks James.

Just on this subject (and yes I have been through the search option and followed the links) - what is the spark plug gap? Is there any advantage to changing these (I'm assuming mine are the opriginal ones)?

As you are a member you can look at the manuals.

No need to ask questions

Excusing my ignornace here then - assuming that I didn't fit the Bosch plugs and went for something like Denso - would these not be adjustable (also assuming that they probably fit more than one type of car)?

I appreciate that it would be possible to measure the ones that are already in place, but I'm just thinking that these may have changed - given the incredibly harsh environment that spark plugs operate in.

I think that you will find that all recommended spark plugs by the manufacturers have a fixed setting.

In all cases I think they are all platinum tipped plugs.

The reason being the time interval between changing

Ah - thanks John - that sounds reasonable.
