dtjames 0 Posted September 30, 2003 Can anyone recommend HIGH QUALITY brands of plugs and HT leads that will be noticed as I lift my hood? I have no confidence in the ones that are fitted at the moment and am prepared to change the lot. Can you do this ASAP please - I will need to get them ordered and fitted. Cheers, David.

Cheers, David. well no-one will notice the type of plugs you have so its best to stick with the recommended NGK's as for plug leads i bought Quantum branded ones from VW in early september for under £60 a set,but i'm afraid they are just blackish grey so nothing exiting to look at Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted September 30, 2003 ...and are these leads considered HIGH QUALITY vr6storm... ...or can I get better ones? well as quantum is VW's own brand then i would imagine that they are to O/E standards or higher.........but i'm sure you can spend more and have "bling bling" looking leads that may or may not be better but certainly look nicer ****EDIT**** one thing i would recomend for all VR6 owners to buy is the Hazet plug lead removal tool even if you still have the supplied plastic one,as it makes life a hell of a lot easier when removing the leads Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corradovr6sc 0 Posted September 30, 2003 Black VW Oem (now red) ht leads are £120 Blue igniter/magnicor are ~£90 but don't fit in the grooves Both are v. good quality but I'm using vw leads because of fitment issues with the other makes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 1, 2003 How about Blue Igniters? Lifetime warranty and OE ends. I had a set of 16V ones for 5 years with no problems, so...... Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
