Bosch W6DPO. They’ve always been expensive, but now stupidly so. I’m not paying $250 for plugs, either. The DENSO IW20TT you referenced is a perfect replacement because it’s the exact same heat range as the W6DPO.
That said, make sure they use quality parts. BMW/Bosch spark plugs and OEM pulleys (and belt) are a must. NGK plugs are cheaper and don\u2019t last as long. Same goes for off-brand belts and pulleys.
Went with Bosh double platinum plugs at 60,000km when I notice a stumble at idle and that's the interval for change. I instantly went from best of 9.6L/100km to 7.8L/100km big difference in performance and smoothness and i prefer a German plug in a German car with Bosch electronics.
I'd stick with the WR6DPO Bosch. Not sure why but they just work with no questions.
I have a Champion 20 Ton model with the 196cc engine. I have used it for 5 years, splitting about 35-40 cords. The only issue I have had is I had to replace the spark plug once. The engine still works well but just in case I bought a direct replacement Power Fist Chonda engine for $229 CDN.
I recently just replaced my spark plugs they were past due. So I bought the OE Bosch 9683. The engine runs fine, starts easy, no misfiring, no rough running. But after the plug change I am getting much worse millage.
Also, some engines get particular about plugs. Bosch has a bad rep for the 3400 engine in my Grand Am, while NGK and AC Delco(I've got NGK Iridium IXs in there now) are fine.
Installed new Bosch Plugs (WR7DC+), Bosch Distributor Cap, and Rotor. Now the car seems to be having a weird idle sitting as stop lights, and the engine almost shut off while I was backing into the garage. Also she seems like its having a harder time sterting up as well.
definitely avoid Bosch spark plugs. I'm not personally a fan and I've seen plenty fail. Unless they were original in the motor (usually Subarus don't use Bosch), I'd stick with NGK or Denso in my opinion.
Avoid Champions. Use NGK or Denso. Don't go cheap on plugs because the job is labour intensive.
