gap

I just bought 6 new spark plugs off an ebay vendor. The plugs are new & unused but the boxes are a bit bashed & they look like they might be NOS. I thought it prudent to check the gap & not knowing what it is meant to be looked on the internet. There seems to be two schools of thought: 1) go...

Not sure if this seems to be the same nationwide, but around here the petrol prices seem to have crept up, while diesel seems to have stayed roughly the same. A few months ago it was up to about 10p difference, while it seemed to have got to about 6p recently, and in Canterbury yesterday, I...

Hi All, I have just bought some genuine MB plugs for C180K coupe, Do these plugs need to be gapped before fitting? If so what is the gap? regards springer:)

I have a CLK320 (MY2000 208 cab). I have bought Bosch platinum plugs ( FR8DPP33) which say on the packet that they are gapped to 1mm. In fact, the gap is somewhat larger (about 1.2mm, but varies a bit). Can someone tell me what the correct gap for this engine is? Thanks a lot, Russell

Hi all, Recently managed to pick up a mint 1983 230E (59,000 miles otc!) but it's ticking over a bit eratically. Anybody have tuning data (timing, plug gaps etc) for this model? Will add you to my will if ya can help me out here ;) Many thanks in advance! Cheers Darren

Hi My first time on this board. Could anyone tell me what the plug gap for my 1988 420SL should be? Thanks for your help.

I have been given the option to take out Gap insurance on the SLK when I pick it up tomorrow. Cost £675 for 3 years. Question is - am I wasting my money? Has anyone actually got anything out of this or is it just another opportunity for "them" to make money out of lil ol' me?
