w6dpo for standard ish g60 or w5dpo for tuned ... :lol:

[Sandy 0]

how much are the w5dpo numbers & where do you get them.

 

PS how long do they last the ones I've got the noo last for 60,000 miles (should be needing changed soon) are the w5dpo numbers the same.

 

Cheers for your advice

The W6DPO's are about £10 each from VW, maybe a bit less from GSF or ECP, not sure about W5's

 

They should last for 40k max, I doubt any plugs will last 60k and still be efficient, especially with forced induction.

ive run both 6dpo and 4dpo. at the time ECP swore the 4dpo was the standard plug. i used them on my standard G60 for a year or 2. no problems.

 

im on 6dpo now again. not seen any difference between the 2.

 

you could always gap some coppers up. Sam from SNS in the states uses copper ones with no problems.

well mine have bought them 6 years ago nearly done 60,000 miles on them and I got 217bhp on my last rolling road session a few months ago so they must still be going strong. Cost around £20 a plug if I remember correctly. Will take one oot at the weekend and have a look to see who makes them.

I used the W6 DPO's then changed to the Iridum Denso ones at one step colder spec (conforms to the w5dpo). I think the Denso's were iw22 will have to check to confirm. These definately made a difference, probably not so much by being iridium but by being one step colder.
