Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well I did a search through the 996 forum, and everything is just about how to replace them. What brand and part number does everyone buy? On other vehicles I've owned, bmw, and a race built talon, I found the cheapest ngk's one degree colder are the best, but then I have more knowledge on boosted cars. For my 02 996 non-turbo, what are the best ones to get?

POST 2Original post

The factory recommend are a good start. They use high quality plugs. Check your model year and build date, I believe they use 3 different types. Beru and NGK com to mind.

Crazy - are you telling me that you don't have a Flat-12 engine in your par?

POST 9Original post

Didn't porsche have twin-spark flat-6's awhile back? Maybe that's what he was referring to, not really a 12 cyl engine.
