spark plugs

I have had my spark plugs changed at my local Mercedes dealership but, after already having a few issues with being given incorrect information, I am a bit doubtful as to whether they have actually been done. Call me paranoid but this is also after looking at some other customer reviews. Would...

Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure out which variant my 272 is before changing sparks since it’s a late 2011 and it might have the cgi direct injection. From what I have figured out the cgi variant is the 272.980 models and the 272.010 are port injection. Wanted to verify if I am...

My SLK 300 v6 (R171) is due on mileage to have its spark plugs changed which I have been quoted by 2 indy garages in addition to the service B I already paid for (which was actually showing as D on my dashboard but the garage said they're basically the same thing). Price quoted was £203...

Hello dear members. I am extremely worried for the following issue. Light white smoke is coming out of my exhaust. I noticed it a couple of days ago. I have also checked cooling fluid, oil filler cap and spark plugs for signs of head gasket failure but seems NOT to be a head gasket (as can be...

W124, 3L, 1991, automatic The repair manual gives the size of gap for Champion spark plugs. I looked on the internet, it doesn't give the gap for Bosch spark plugs, but says they come with the gap already set. It seems strange to me to buy and use spark plugs without knowing and confirming the...

Hi all. Quick question regarding spark plugs for the M112 V6 engine (I think also M113 are the same). Mine is currently on 88000 miles and I don't think they have ever been changed so is something that is currently at the top of my todo list. What are the recommended plugs? I've researched a...

Hi there Any advice appreciated! So this afternoon, I changed all 6 spark plugs on my C350. It's on 88000 miles and as I had no evidence to suggest they have ever been changed I decided to do them. I changed all the plugs for some new NGK PLKR7A, which are listed as OE equivalent design on...

Once again, I have gone back to the books to revive my memory about spark plugs. As I understand, Hot Plugs ie ones with numbers 7 onwards or so run hotter, thus better suited for regions where climate is cold year round e.g. northern Europe, Moscow, Siberia, Canada etc, so that the Combustion...

I have very recently purchased a A160 automatic (58) and have been told by a mechanic that there is a problem with the gearbox. I took it back to the garage under the 1 month warranty but they say they can't find anything wrong?! I am used to driving a bigger (V6 3.7L) automatic, so expected...

Hello all, My 1999 W202 C230K developed a missfire last week, I had to use it for a few days to get to work. At the weekend I removed the spark plugs and found number three cylinder plug fouled. (I didn’t on this occasion remove the battery earth lead :Oops:) after reconnecting everything I...

Hi all, during the winter I had some starting problems with my 190E 2.5-16V, and now the weather is marginally better I've started having a proper look at it. I've changed the spark plugs today and these were particularly black, with the threads indicating that the engine could be flooded...
