Which Bosch Spark Plugs for 206CC 2.0 ?

Post by scallybert »

Hi, I've been advised that I *really* need Bosch plugs - but Bosch seem to list quite a few different ones [ (FR 8 ME), (FR 8 NP) , (FR 8 SC+) , (FR 8 NII 33 W) , (FR 78 NX) ].

Any recommendations as to which of these is the best choice ?

I use Bosch Super 4 plugs ... big improvement on single electrode plugs that were fitted.

FR 78 NX for set of four.

Thanks, gazza82, that's the information I wanted.

As a matter of interest, what were you seeing happen with the previous plugs ?

Hard to start first time and slighty rough idle. But they were probably quite old as there wasn't a recent invoice showing they had been replaced recently. They looked worn too ...
