Alfa 156 2.0 spark plugs
Hi,
I need to change splark plugs on my Alfa 156 2.0. Mechanic recommends me Champion splark plugs because NGK are not available. Is Champion a good choice and how does it compare to NGK and Bosch? Thanks. |

EBspares www.ebspares.co.uk does offer Champions and the original NGKs.
Don't know what the part number is for the Champions. Doubt they'd tell us offhand. So perhaps they've found something that is an OK match. I'd go for the original NGKs though. wrote: > Hi, > I need to change splark plugs on my Alfa 156 2.0. > Mechanic recommends me Champion splark plugs because NGK are not > available. > Is Champion a good choice and how does it compare to NGK and Bosch? > > > Thanks. |

AR specify long-life platinum tipped plugs, change interval 100k km / 60k miles or 5 years, so AR are right even though you mis-quote them. They introduced this type of plug with associated long service interval in 1993 with the V6 24V engine fitted to the 164 (IIRC it wasn't fitted to earlier engines) so they have plenty of history to back up the practice. Can you name these independents or give their reasons for trying to sell plugs 5 times as often as recommended? Mark |
