Flexso 0 Posted August 22, 2009 I have just replaced mine. VW wanted £120 think it was for leads. I got mine from GSF. a compnay called BBT. They are sweet as a nut and cost half the price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muppetlab 0 Posted August 22, 2009 I can recommend dubpower. see here http://dubpower.co.uk/HT%20leads.HTM I have just fitted their 10mm silicone leads. Very good quality, look the tits and even better was the price. Only trouble was the 10mm ones dont fit the plastic engine cover so had to do some trickery with some cable ties but looks and goes awesome now. Dubpower were very helpful and delivered next day. Just ask for pete or sharon i think. Hope this helps. cheers jez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VRSICK 0 Posted August 23, 2009 Cheers peeps. I think it'll have to be VW. It wouldve been the 10mm ones but if they dnt fit in the plastic cover then i probably wont go for them. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mawrick 0 Posted August 23, 2009 Magnecore leads are also good ones - been having them on my Passat for years......and they have some that will fit the plastic...:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant recommend the quality enough. Oh and no i have no ties to them other than a satisfied customer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swompy 0 Posted August 24, 2009 So realy it doesnt matter which ones you have on then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted August 24, 2009 pretty sure its just thicker insulation on the fat ones..no benefit really other than they look extra meaty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 24, 2009 On G60's they can provide a bit of extra heat protection and they are stiffer so stand up away from the block but the standard ones do the job fine. On a VR it's not worth fitting anything but standard as they fit the cable management well and are all exactly the right length etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppetlab 0 Posted August 24, 2009 As has been mentioned does not really matter on the thickness except that they look bling. What matters more is the quality. Avoid cheap leads the fittings and insulation are rubbish, i had to return two "new" sets of cheapo leads due to current leakage out of the insulator bits that go over the plugs. Like most things in life you get what you pay for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
