Spark plugs

buy genuine plugs for it.

I've always used bosch plugs with no issue on my previous car a mk4 golf I had no issues. What benefit does using genuine plugs for it offer ?

I hope that doesn't sound narky its not mean't to just wondering really ?

I ask mainly as I have a 30% discount coupon for Euro car parts :)

You know they meet the correct specs , run at the right temp will be matched with the coil packs .

Do you think that Euro offered the 30% discount in order to ensure that you bought the correct plugs?

The ignition system on Fords since the late 80's has been so violent that using an incorrect part particularly plugs or leads is very likely to cause other parts to fail, notably the coil pack or the ECU. You do not want this to happen. genuine plugs last a very long time without problems. Genuine leads should really be changed every 40k to be safe.

As Mr C says, use genuine Ford plugs and leads; change them both at 40k miles.

With the plugs and especially leads, use ONLY the genuine article. You'll be back on here with a "Focus stutter at around 2000rpm only when hot" post if you dont!!!

I bought a ton of parts from ECP with that offer and every part was exactly correct and well packaged. So I got the correct parts, all fitted and working wonderfully and saved 30%.

Why not! Making spark plugs isn't exactly rocket surgery, is it?
