The B7 A4 Spark Plugs Replacement Guide

Just picked up some NGK BKR7EIX's. Hoping to put them on sometime tomorrow. If I run into any issues I'll let you guys know. When I checked I think the gap is close to 0.030"

So finally got the time to change my plugs...before it started to rain :)
My thoughts is the new plugs did help with a quick and smooth acceleration.

Let's see here's 1 of the three that looked like this. (see below)

And the last SP that looked like this. It was kinda oily...

After a few minutes of struggling to remove the tab, I found out do this works alot better...at least for me :) (see below)

^^^people.... PUSH IN.....then pull out take a lesson from sex, the screwdriver will sometimes break off the tabs and it sucks....but if you push in then with your finger push down on the tab while pulling out it will slide right out

......omg what did i just say?

Just to clarify - according to the NGK website (ngksparkplugs.com) they recommend the PFR7S8EG Laser Platinum plug as a direct replacement in the 2.0T. If you look at their part number fact sheet (http://ngksparkplugs.com/docs/tech/partnumberkey.pdf) the '7' indicates the heat rating number, so I'm assuming that would mean that their BKR7EIX plug mentioned in the first post is also now in the recommended heat range?

Would seem to be backed up a little bit by an article that I found on the GTI forums (http://changegears.wordpress.com/201...-ngk-pfr7s8eg/) - take it for what it's worth I guess... EDIT: Just noticed that ECS also lists the BKR7EIX plug as a replacement for our cars....

**Gil2.0T** · 07-27-2011 01:53 PM

Anyone have a good place they ordered theirs from?

**viziers** · 07-27-2011 02:32 PM

Go with the bosch ones that are on Vasts site they are side fireing and seem to work better than those. At least in my car they are.

Are they one step colder than OEM?

Two steps colder than OEM - great for his big turbo application.

According to the Vast site, they are only 1 step colder: https://vastperformance.com/index.ph...1-8t-2-7t.html - are they wrong in stating that?

I went ahead and ordered them - looks like for my turbo set up I'll be happy with them.

**Gil2.0T** · 07-29-2011 09:45 AM

I dont need bif turbo spark plugs. I think he was saying the Bosch are one step colder, comparable to the NGK i was looking at.

I just purchased a set of NGK BKR7EIX-11 and after reading this im not sure if it will work with my car, they are gaped at .40 I believe. Should I exchange these out, (bought from amazon) or can I make them work?

If possible, exchange them for NGK BKR7E-8.

Moved to the B7A4 Tech section.

Any truth to these Ignition Coil packs being better at withstanding more heat than the OEMs that currently on our vehicles?

NGK BKR7E in stock at amazon.com for 1.99 each.

if you have amazon prime, it's free 2 day shipping :)

**jimrobbington** · 10-08-2011 10:27 AM

I upgraded to the BKR7Es a couple days ago. Much smoother engine response between shifts, and much smoother rev matching down shifts.

**Sweet N Low** · 11-12-2011 10:37 PM

Just installed some NGK BKR7E copper plugs and I must say they are soooooo much better. Had my old plugs in for 44k miles..these new plugs are great. Car rides smooth starts up fast pulls harder an even holds more boost on shifts..highly recommend these plugs

**968Reckless** · 12-25-2011 01:25 PM
