NGK plug ok?? BKR6E (6926)

Unread post by Moog »

Hi,

Ordered some Bosch plugs (FR7DC+) for my Xsara Picasso from GSF in a 65% off deal. (That's nearest the original spec of FR7KDC I could find)

When I collected, GSF didn't have those and swapped in NGK BKR6E (no letter suffix).

I'm assuming they'll fit ok but will these run right? I'm not a label fetishist but I remember a Volkswagen I had was never happy (hesitation/lumpy running) on some alternatives makes of plug.

And will the gap still be 0.9mm as per the book?

They'll still boxed up so I could just get my money back. Going on holiday with the family soon so wanting it all serviced and running well before I go.

Cheers!

I'm surprised they didn't give you the NGK four points, we used them on every vehicle we serviced when I worked at a garage. No need to gap them and worked in everything.

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.

Many thanks Marc - really appreciated. I try not to bother the forum any more than I have to but will post these types of things in the parts section.

All the best,
