What's car u r drive for ??

what does spark plug have to do with water spare tank?

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

mayb the sparkplug heat range is higher.... thus ur engine temperature increases.... and thus, use more water in ur radiator.....

sparkplug heat range will not increase engine temp.

its will cause knocking.

but platinum is 'cold spark' rite? correct me if im wrong... i heard sum ppl said, borsch platinum is 'cold spark'~
but for NGK, i duno la~!!


sry if i hijack da tread a bit... i try b4 bosch platinum... but only 5k km nid to change, i wonder y?? i duno it is suitable for 4G13p or not~... den i lazy wan try out, i use back super 4

if using wrong plug, i.e. cold plug then your car will have lots of ping... nothing to do with car temperature. cold plugs are for high performance car usage, in our climate and our car class, we should use hot plugs... index of 5-6 (according to volker readings).

if buying a platinium that only last for 5k km, i better use normal NGK plugs... its not cost effective mar...

i m using Volker iridium plugs in my wife's car...changed it since 20,000km ago, now running 48,000km and the performance is constant.... so i am abit doubt why platinium plugs lifespan so short. my volker warranty me 150,000km mileage or 2 years, which ever comes first with 1-1 swap.

anyway, back to the topic, wish you good luck to find out what is the culprit for such situation.

thanx for ur all info.. i already settle all the thing.. y my tempature is running up bzos my brother help me add water until the top then i don't know.. sorry i blur blur..
now i using irridium plug last time i using ngk platinium number 5, now is ngk irridium number 6 tempature also is same nothing special .. so no need buy a expensive plug la just a same jeh...

oh, how bout those volkswagen? they dun hav tangki air~ izzit better if use cold plug??

and for me, i think use performance spark plug better den normal plug.. it says, recomend 20,000km to change.. when i take my spark plug out (super 4), da spark still can use even 25,000km dy and i think can use more den 40,000km~ and fc oso decrease~ better engine lifespan oso increase..

for my opinion, performance sparkplug oso good for city driving~ but no nid buy till rm100++ plug la~ ha ha

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

performance sparkplug dont mean need to buy high end ones such as iridium plugs mah... bosch super 4 and NGK platinum ones are good enough...

i'm using NGK platinum plugs... so far so good la... but when first installed, felt abit sluggish.... mayb coz havent 'warmed up' yet....

 

[davidv00]

yeah it is up to our choice, like me i buy the volker iridium because wanna save cost in the long run... 150,000km for RM2XX is worth lor i think.

 

[n_chun21]

for me now i no need buy spark plug liau if my spark plug not nice just go to my friends chop shop or modification car chop take the irridium spark bzos when they come in a halfcut they take it out and threw away 1 but is still nice so my friends keep it and used...

 

[davidv00]

wow... good for you to have free stuff.

 

[n_chun21]

if not free i sure not buy the irridium plug bzos cost me rm2++.. if no need money sure ok la
