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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is the factory plug the one to go for or is there a better one on the market? Cheers, Stu

POST 2Original post

Better is relevant. Factory works fine unless you have pimped out the engine.

POST 3Original post

I'm using NGK 94279 FR6AHX-S Ruthenium HX plugs. So far they have been great plugs.

POST 4Original post

Beru fitted last time I changed mine. Cheap and correct so you can't go wrong.

POST 5Original post

I've used NGK, Beru, Porsche, and Bosch. All have worked fine and I couldn't tell any difference between them.

POST 6Original post

I buy the cheapest Iridium name brand plugs I see. They last longer.

POST 7Original post

Called a Pelican "Porsche Specialist" for guidance on the ~10 choices of plugs listed for my 3.2L engine. She asked if I tracked my car which would affect the proper plug choice. Neither of us could determine exactly how the internal combustion process would change with track vs. street asphalt conditions. She thought the gap might be different - etc... It would seem the TStat, H2O pump, fans, ECU would all operate the same. Commentary from those with facts???
