paul wicks 0 Posted January 5, 2005 Which ones are you running in your Mi16? The Champion, NGK, and Bosch guides in Halfords werent too clear in stating which ones too use, they dont speciafically list the Mi16 engine, so am abit confused? Has anyone got the actual part numbers for any of tehh above? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huxley309 0 Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) im sure the code for the ngk one is BP6ET same as the 1.9gti only triple electrode.... im sure someone will correct me if im not... my haynes manual says its rc7bmc on the 1.9mi for champoion plugs... either way halfords prob wont have them on the shelf Edited January 5, 2005 by huxley309 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul wicks 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Thanks for the replies, will change the spark plugs and oil this weekend.. More interested in the Bosch and Champion Plugs as the NGK were really crap on cold starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toddman 0 Posted January 6, 2005 I have always found the NGK triples to be the best for from cold starting but the champion part is on that link I put up. Cheers Luke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul wicks 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Thanks for all your help can someone tell me what the difference is between these plugs. Champion RC7YC for a 205 1.9 GTI (without cat) Champion RC9YC for a 205 1.9 GTI (with cat) What does the number is the middle mean, as thats the only difference between the two?? Also if you increase or decrease the elecrode gap, how would this affect performance. How would you know whether this was required. Thanks in advance Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenan 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Mi-16 1.9 (without cat) - NGK BCP7ET Mi-16 1.9 (with cat) - NGK BCPR6ET Chris I'm running a MI16 with cat but am also running the 6's, will this make any differance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_W 3 1 Cars Posted February 21, 2006 If it's running a CAT then those are the right ones aren't they? Mine (non cat) runs BCP7ET (single electrode) and has done the last couple of sets. Originally the motor factors gave me the 6s but after look on NGK and checking my old plugs they were the 7s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavtrials 0 Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) hey, Quite intresting reading through about this post with the ngk plugs, I allways used to get given the 7et's but the last 2 sets i bought were 6et's, I have not found any difference in starting or running atal, They seem to both do the same job. Allso just noticed about the 1 and 3 electrode thing, Both 6et and 7et have allways had 3 electrodes on them when i have bought them!
