I am using ngk platinum ori for A32 , so far so good. I've heard they can last for 100,000 km , do u believe?. Cost me rm45-00 per plug.

*DO NOT TOUCH YOUR IGNITION COIL IF THEY DON'T POST ANY PROBLEM, YOU WILL REGRET LATER*

Btw, they are not cheap. 1 coil = RM200-00 ; 6coils = $$$.

Some of the problems choosing the wrg plugs are ; engine knock, misfiring , wrong a/f mixture, high fuel consumption , lack of power, etc.

Yes VQ engines are very sensitive, just like having a 'leng looi' girlfriend. If you treat her wrongly , she will give you hell. If you treat her right (diamonds and jewels) , she will serve you like a king.

taiko seizai is not too late to change back.:wavey:

if you notice, with older plugs the engine will ping even with some brand of petrol.

 

[seizai]

how is 'ping' feel like?

 

[weikee]

"ping" sound loh, some engine is klak klak klak sound. You get to notice when your windows is down. Hence sometime is better to try drive car with the windows down for awhile.

Last time drive manual is easier, you can try use 3rd gear and so slow and over hump and most of the time you will hear the ping.
