Iridium plug life

Post by david7m » Fri Nov 10, 2006 11:36 am

How long should they last before they require changing?

(normal driving, mainly in traffic!)

Cheers,

Iridium - never....the only set of iridium plugs I fitted fell apart in the engine and broke up - fortunately. the same happened in my jetski and a mate here has had the same happen to him, in his 1.8t. He thinks they were iridium plugs.
