Hiya, can you guys recommend any decent spark plugs and a decent replacement panel filter for a stock-ish engine?
Also what leads is everyone running?
Plus the best place to buy all the above from?
Cheers

welcome - most people stick with bosch w5dpo plugs which are oem standard. cheapest at gsf
as for filters - some people go with a cone/heatshield - jabbasport do them, dear tho
or a k+n panel filter.
I myself stick with a stock paper, i've never noticed a different when i tried an induction kit.
I just bought some Longlife spark plugs from VW. They make a big difference to my G40 but then it did have some random ones in before which def weren't the right ones.
I also changed the leads last weekend, but got those from GSF. Sorry, I don't know the make (I do now - Beru), but I do know the part no (92620H). Think they retail at around £25.
Air filter - standard from VW but I don't have any other engine upgrades. I will probably change when I do.
Plugs from GSF (not W5DPO's but something similar) and a worn JR conefilter & heatshield which i'm changing shortly.
I'm currently looking at magnecor leads to replace the ones i have. Demon tweeks are abit expensive (£55 odd before p+p!!) so i'm gonna hunt around.
Waste of money really. If you need new leads just stick with Beru ones or BBR from GSF.
yeah those "performance" leads have even been known to be worse than standard ones. I remember steve at pitstop saying they threw more than a couple of sets of those in the bin and replaced with £30 GSF leads when cars came in with general running and misfiring problems. Waste of money if you ask me.
Oh, ok. Thought they were supposed to be good!! I'll get a set from gsf then.
Nice one. Thanks for the info lads.
looking at leads on GSF. Is part number 92621C the right ones?
and i'm i also correct in the fact its £40.80 - VAT for a set of plugs?
yep both those things are right.
cheers. Thought i better check before ordering. Ordered a inlet manifold gasket coz i thought it was something else!
