jedi-knight83 0 Posted March 25, 2004 Does anyone have the part number for the Hazet plug lead tool? i have it at home if no one gets it before then. you some times have to push them to buy it aswell... just say 'oh, phoned VW customer services who said i could get a hazzet tool from you.... etc etc.' And, do VW still supply the original red Beru HT leads? i had heard they moved onto crappy black ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 25, 2004 Thanks Joe Last question.......anyone used Iridium spark plugs from NGK? Just thinking they might be useful with the Schrick as they're reputed to last 60K or more. More info at http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted March 25, 2004 The Iridium plugs ain't cheap! If you're planning to keep the car for 60k they might be worth it, however. I've also been thinking similar things, due to the Shreks' fundamental design flaw! I think you can buy the hazet tool on ebay. Shipping from the US is probably cheaper than VW prices... In fact, I can't see a Hazet tool at the mo, but there's a set of Denso Iridium plugs for $65 US. Complete with 250,000 mile or TEN YEAR warranty!! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have also ordered 6 x BKR5EIX-11 NGK Iridium plugs @ £8.95 each. Worth a go, eh? The guy at Spark Plugs.co.uk said he gets a lot of orders from VR6 drivers for these plugs, so they're obviously good. He said they last on average 60,000 miles :lol: K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted March 25, 2004 Do you need the hazet tool when you've got the shrek? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 25, 2004 Do you need the hazet tool when you've got the shrek? Yep cause you still need to pull the leads out by the metal shroud but they won't need to come off again for 60K soon :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormseeker 0 Posted March 25, 2004 Hazet tool will be in on Saturday, only 8 left at VW HQ. Just ordered mine this afternoon, along with my tensioner... Got quoted £16.80 +VAT for the tool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 25, 2004 In case you've ever wondered what the plug numbers mean, check this out:- http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/pages/technical/ngkjpg.htm Basically, the OE NGK plug - BKR5EKU / P means this:- B - Special design K - Hex size 5/8" Projected tip (ISO) R - Resistor type 5 - Heat rating (1 hot -> 11 cold) E - Thread reach - 19mm K - 2 Ground electrodes U - Semi-Surface discharge P - Premium Platinum. The things you learn :lol: K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 25, 2004 Good man Mr Charged By the way, that EKTA CD you gave me is buggered! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 25, 2004 If you are using XP - you need to be running it in compatability mode for 98/Me?? (On a 2k box you do the same but need to use the compatability tool from the resource kit) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 26, 2004 ust bought a set of Beru leads, and mine are black, if that makes a big difference to ya Kev? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was after the red ones because of their construction quality, are the black ones equally robust? Just want to get the Shrek on and leave it on for as long as possible!!

I'll pop down to GSF tomorrow. Sure they're Beru and not their winky BBT ones which fall apart in your hands? K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 26, 2004 nope, definately Beru, wouldn't have bought them otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 26, 2004 ['H3R4POR]nope' date=' definately Beru, wouldn't have bought them otherwise.[/quote'] Sorry mate, after all your good advice and me being me, I've just gone and ordered some 8mm Magnecor leads from the same place I got my iridium plugs from! When will I ever stop wasting money on this stupid car :x K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 26, 2004 lol, no worries mate, just trying to help :) how much did they set you back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 26, 2004 ['H3R4POR]lol, no worries mate, just trying to help :) how much did they set you back? £90 inc delivery and VAT. They do have a very good reputation (and a 10 year guarantee!) so should be fit and forget hopefully. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormseeker 0 Posted March 26, 2004 I've just gone and ordered some 8mm Magnecor leads from the same place I got my iridium plugs from! I take it these jobbies won't fit in the standard manifold's plastic guides tho? 8mm sounds too big :-( (Of course you're not bothered 'bout that with your Shrek :roll:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 26, 2004 8mm leads go on mate. It's only the 8.5 and 10mm Racing wires that don't fit. And yes, exactly, the Shrek will negate the need for half of the cable routing channels :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
