Spark plugs NGK BP5E to Bosch R6

[Mike J]

Previously been using NGK BP5E Plugs One has cracked and have been given Bosch R6 as a replacement , Cant find a reliable cross reference on the internet any one know if these will do the same job?

I don't think that R6 is the full Bosch number. If you have the plug the look for a 5 digit code stamped or engraved in the metal just above the threaded portion.

I always think it is best to have all 8 spark plugs matching. If the NGK ones are fairly new and you just need one then I would get another NGK plug, they are widely available via mail order and not expensive. That removes any doubt as to whether or not the Bosch one is the same.

Faversham installed Bosch WR8DC+ plugs into my and other customer cars. I find them to be as good as the next plug.

Many thanks both. Stuck down in Essex at the moment will check when I get back. It seemed to be running OK before I got trapped.

Remember, modern fuel will run cooler..:consider a slightly hotter plug.
