Tigz™ Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Theres a cheap set listed for the Lupo GTI.Been looking for OE spec Bocsh plugs but these are slightly cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I had a set (correct ones for the Lupo GTI from GSF) but after six months noticed the car was not very smooth and when I took the plugs out saw they were all failing and the white ceramic was going brown with over heating.In the end I put the original spec NGK's and its been fine and even better than the Bosch versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Bosch had a bad batch a few months back (probably what Mike had), the people responsible have now been fired and all is back to normal style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Bosch plugs are good!

nfbr Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Unfortunately ALL BOSCH PLUGS run like a sack of crap in the engines used in the lupos.The company i work for is a bosch main agent, and most of the garages we deal with will not have bosch plugs unless there is no alternative.Bosch have a bad name for Spark plugs in the motor trade for a reason...Sheldon - Do you still want me to sort them NGK plugs out for you ?
