Bosch Super or NGK. Platinums don't seem to work very well in that vintage.

Default Re: Bosch Platinum plugs can mask ignition problems.

I've only experienced poor results running Platinums in my Audi's.

Others will tell you their the best thing since sliced bread.

Fact is they have a "low ark-over voltage". Bosch knows older ignition systems are often weaker from age, and the platinum's sometimes help. Not a real "performance" fix.

The last pulgs i put in were bosch from my parts place. Not Platinum though. Had no problems with them, cept one stops sealing from time to time, should go back to those. I know ngk are go i use only them in my motorcycle.

Maybe I will try them.Ididn't do the replacement yet so can return the ones I bought.


Thanks guys...
