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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Holy moly, I am stupid, I thought my 997 would have platinum plugs, but after some reading I am now sure they are just normal Bosch copper spark plugs and hence don't last that long. i.e. Bosch FGR-5-KQE0 So... anyone got any nice platinum or Iridium etc spark plugs into their 997? Or is everyone still using the normal Bosch Copper plugs?
