When I bought the 6 just over a year ago I was told New cam belt & Plugs plus Oil filter & oil was fitted ....Well I've changed the oil & filter 6 months ago & today I changed the plugs as starting was getting difficult & FCS on Sat & Sunday changing them made sense ! The 6 starts amazing now  Well I fitted NGK BKR6EZ & took out Some strange looking & unknown plugs ? NGK BKUR7ET with 3 ground Electrodes ???? Day666 has attached the following image: |

The BKR6EK is almost the same spark plug as the BKR6EZ. The EK has 2 elektrodes instead of 1. The BKR5EZ/EK is the wrong spark plug, this plug is too warm and can cause pinking. |

Just FYI, the BKR6EK plug is listed on loads of stuff on ECP, if you search for 408110050 it'll get you to the right plug. |

The BKR5EK or EZ is listed in the NGK catalog as the right spark plug for the xu10j4rs engine however this spark plug has a heat range which is too high, as result engine damage may occur, the BKR6EK or EZ is the right spark plug.The correct plug is the NGK BKR6EK. I don't know if it makes any difference if the spark plug has one or two electrodes, so the BKR6EZ may also be correct. |

After the posts ..I today rang NGK & was told both 6 heat range but EZ doesn't have v shape inside ???? & is for 2.0 stnd not Gti6 ...they said twin electrode is for reliability & has no more performance gains.!!! That's what they said  So now changed mine to BKR6EK ...but a worry was he kept saying Iridium plugs are for track days & are better ??? Non of the race guys I know use them ?....but there again some strip down the engines after 3 meets  |

indeed no need for wasting your hard earned on Iridium plugs, I guess Di and Turbo engines might benefit from them, but I know Sandy brown uses and recommends just a standard NGK plug, 7 range if its higher compression than standard.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Iridium plugs have a only a longer life than a normal spark plug, but they cost more.There is no increase in engine power. |
