Buzzlt Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 So it’s time to change them, actually it sounds like one of them may have come a bit loose. Before I investigate I might as well get a new set. Searching ECP a little while ago I found they sell a Bosch set with 4 electrodes. I tried them years ago when I messed around with cars more back in the days when you had points to adjust and didn’t like them. First video of how to change them had the mechanic sl*gging them off as well so guess they haven’t changed much. Anybody tried/ can recommend some good ones or what not to get? Looked at NGK’s but they are 3 times the price but if people think they are worth it.... Also tricky to suss out which ones exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also interested in this, it's a job I plan for my 987.1 2.7 soon also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzlt Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Well as I have to just get under the car anyway as one of the Lamda sensors has failed I thought I would order some anyway. So I am going to try £40 quids worth (6) of Denso’s IK22’s from the bay. They will do for now as I am skint this month. Although I did order 2 Lamda sensors as ECP has a sale on and the ones after the cats only cost £50 for a pair. Their Spark plugs aren’t so cheap though and I still don’t fancy the Bosch ones. Something to do over Christmas.... maybe it will run a bit smoother next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I used the standard Beru and the Denso Iridiums in my previous modded 986. Both worked well. I used the Densos after it was mapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie1968 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I bought some Bosch FGR5KQE0 from fleabay for £36. Not fitted yet though, will obviously do so at the same time as the coil packs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
