The following catalogue section lists part numbers of non-Bosch equipment for which there are interchangeable Bosch products or components available.Since
a wide range of different designation systems are used, we were forced to arrange the non-Bosch part numbers in a uniform alphanumerical order. This differs
from the customary order employed by some manufacturers. Reconversion of Bosch numbers back to the numbers of other manufacturers is not permitted. The
Bosch type designation contained in this cross reference represent guidelines. For definitive spark-plug recommendation, please refer to the spark plug application,
section B.
Note
The laws governing competition stipulate that only Bosch type numbers may be used vis-a-vis the final customer for the identification of Boschparts.

Spark plug spark techniques
FAQs
Spark Plug with AIR-GAP spark techniques

Front electrode,
Centre electrode
When it forms the arc directly between

the centre electrode and the ground
electrode, the ignition spark passes
through the air-fuel mixture located
between the electrodes.
The advantages
High level ignition reliability throughout
the plugs entire service life.
Good cold starting behaviour
Low engine voltage requirements
Side electrode,
Centre electrode
Shaped ground
electrode,
Centre electrode
Why no more non-resistor spark plugs?
Together with the increased space

between the electrodes, the sharp
V-groove edges resulting from the
ground electrodes shape ensure that
the ignition sparks thermal energy is
transferred easily and more effectively
into the air-fuel mixture.
This leads to a pronounced flame core
and complete combustion irrespective
of operating conditions
The advantages
High levels of ignition reliability due to
the instantaneous arcing of the spark
and immediate ignition of the A/F
mixture
Additional cold start reliability even
when battery voltage is low. Improved
combustion protects the engine and in
particular the catalytic converter.
Since misfiring is avoided, fuel
consumption drops even more.
Spark plugs with SURFACE-GAP spark techniques

Side electrode,
Centre Electrode
or
Side electrode,
insulator Centre
electrode
The ground electrodes are arranged so

that only particularly long and powerful
surface-gap sparks are generated
The advantages
Improved ignition reliability throughout
the spark plugs entire service life.
Optimal protection of the catalytic
converter(s).
Particularly low level of ignition voltage
required.
Self cleaning effects in case of
soothing.
Extended operating life thanks to
design with several ground electrodes.
Spark plugs with AIR-SURFACE spark techniques

Side electrode,
Centre Electrode
or
Side electrode,
insulator Centre
electrode
Spark plugs featuring the air-surface

spark principle are being used
increasingly in Original Equipment
applications. For reliable ignition, the
ignition spark selects the best route to
take from the centre electrode it either
functions as an air spark or as an airsurface spark.
The advantages
Increased ignition reliability throughout
the spark plugs entire service life
Improved cold start characteristics
Low ignition-voltage requirement
Self cleaning effects in case of sooting
Optimal protection of the catalytic
converter(s)
With an air spark, when ignition takes

place the arc jumps across directly from
the centre to the ground electrode.
The air-surface plug on the other hand
uses existing charge carriers to travel
to the insulator nose from where it then
jumps across, as an air spark, to the
ground electrode.
The configuration with several ground

electrodes increases the plugs life.
What are the different types of spark

plugs?
Outstanding protection against

corrosion
Excellent ignition reliability
Optimum performance throughout its
service life
There is a large variety of different

spark plug designs with more than 1400
variations. Design variants and special
materials such as platinum, silver or
yttrium allow Bosch spark plugs to be
used in a wide variety of applications
today. In all Bosch has developed more
than 20,000 different types of spark
plugs over the last 100 years.
Do yttium spark plugs have a longer

life?
The electrode with yttrium alloy shows
significantly less wear than an electrode
without yttrium.
Since the early 80s, fuel injection
systems have been designed by
manufacturers to be fitted with
RESISTOR spark plugs.
X Fitting non-resistor plugs in a resistor
application can :
Effect sophisticated electronics
Damage expensive componentry
Create radio interference
Effect overall performance
Increase fuel usage
Resistor spark plugs can be fitted in
non-resistor applications
BOSCH RECOMMENDS TO FIT A
RESISTOR TYPE SPARK PLUG FOR
EVERY APPLICATION
Why should you choose Bosch Super
Plus spark plugs?
Yttrium allows us to produce a pointed

What is the function of a spark plug

and why is it a vital engine component?
The function a the spark plug is to
introduce the ignition energy into the
combustion chamber and to initiate
combustion of the compressed airfuel mixture. It accomplishes this task
by generating a spark between its
electrodes, which then generates the
required heat to ignite a smooth burn
of the air/fuel mixture. The spark plug
is an important factor in determining
optimal performance and reliable
functioning of an engine. It must permit
reliable cold starting, it must guarantee
that there is no misfiring during
acceleration, and it must withstand the
engine being operated for hours on end
at maximum power. These requirements
apply throughout the entire service
life of the spark plug. For 100 years
Bosch spark plugs have been designed
for optimal performance, reliable
functioning and to withstand extreme
operating conditions. Today the
continuously developing spark plug is a
key engine system component. It plays
a major role in fuel economy, clean,
efficient combustion and the reliable
operation of engines and catalytic
converters
Why do we need to change spark

plugs?
During operation, the spark plug is
subjected to both wear and to fouling
and should be replaced at regular
intervals. In the course of its service
life , the spark plug undergoes changes
that increase the required ignition
voltage. When the required voltage
reaches a level that can no longer be
compensated for by the voltage reserve
the result is misfiring. These changes
can be caused by :
Electrode wear
Engine wear
Abnormal operating conditions
(pre-ignition, detonation, high oil
consumption).
How do I read a spark plug?
Reading the spark plugs provides
valiable information on spark plug and
engine operating conditions. Refer to
page xxx in this catalogue.
FAQs
How should spark plugs be tightened

for best performance?
Bosch recommends when installing
spark plugs to use a torque wrench and
the correct torque in ft. - lbs.

If a torque wrench is not available, hand
tighten the plug until it is seated in the
cylinder head. Spark plugs with gaskets
should be tightened an additional 90.
Spark plugs with tapered seats should
be tightened an additional 15.
Note : Avoid over tightening or under
tightening as spark plug or engine
damage may result.
Are Bosch spark plugs pre-gapped at
the factory?
FAQs
To avoid damage to a spark plug in

process of adjusting the gap, it is
important to follow these guidelines.
To widen the electrode gap, use a
tool that only pulls back the ground
electrode, without applying pressure
to the centre electrode.
The tool must not be wedged
between the electrodes as that may
cause damage to the insulator nose.
To close the electrode gap, carefully
tap the plug, electrode first, on a
hard surface, as shown in the
illustration.
What is detonation?
Detonation or knocking is
uncontrolled combustion with a very
steep rise in pressure. It is caused
by spontaneous ignition of the fuel
mixture, which has not yet been
reached by the ignition spark.
As the high-pressure waves hit the
walls of the combustion chamber, their
impact produces a metallic knocking
sound. Failure to recognise and deal
with knocking will inevitably lead to
serious engine damage.
What is pre-ignition?
Most Bosch spark plugs are factory pregapped for popular vehicle applications.
The gap measurements are indicated
either on the box, or by part number
located on the spark plug shell.
X suffix = 1.1 mm
Y suffix = 1.5 mm
U suffix = 1.0 mm
Bosch SuperPlus, platinum and resistor
spark plugs also have factory-set
gaps. For most plugs, the setting is
shown on the plug package. These
gaps are correct for the most popular
applications of these plugs. There are
applications however, for which the gap
setting has to be adjusted according to
the vehicle manufacturers specification.
Pre-ignition is an uncontrolled ignition

process in which the temperatures
in the combustion chamber can rise
to such an extent as to cause serious
damage to the engine and the spark
plug. Full-throttle operation can
generate localised hot spots and cause
pre-ignition at the following locations:
At the tip of the spark plugs insulator
nose
On the exhaust valve
On the protruding sections of the
head gasket
On loose deposits (ash & carbon
residue)
On loose deposits (ash and carbon
residue).
Pre-ignition of the air/fuel mixture can

cause severe damage to an engine and
this is one reason why the heat range
of a spark plug is so important.
What is a heat range?
The spark plugs heat range is an index
of its capacity to dissipate thermal
energy. The different characteristics of
automotive engines regarding operating
load, compression, engine speed,
cooling, and fuel make it impossible to
run all engines with a standard spark
plug. The same spark plug may get very
hot in one engine type, but may reach
only a relatively low temperature in
another.
In the first case, the air-fuel mixture
would ignite on the glowing parts
of the spark plug projecting into the
combustion chamber (pre-ignition)
and, in the second case, the insulator
tip would soon become so badly
fouled by combustion deposits that
misfiring would occur. To ensure that
the plug runs between the desired
temperatures, plugs with different heat
capacities were developed.
The so called heat range, which is
assigned to each spark plug, is used
to characterise these heat dissipation
capacities. A plug with a low heat range
number (e.g. 2-4) indicates a cold plug
that quickly dissipates heat to the
engine block and cooling system, while
a high code (e.g. 7-10) indicates a hot
plug that retains heat.
By properly selecting the heat range of
the plug, it ensures that the plug will
operate between the plugs designed
operating range of 500-900 degrees
Celsius. In this range, the spark plug
will be self-cleaning, yet will not be
hot enough to pre-ignite the air/fuel
mixture.
2008
How does Bosch test enginges to

determine the heat range and what heat
range should I use?
To ensure optimal performance in your
car, Bosch has tested each vehicle
model and the various engines available
for that model listed in the Spark Plug
catalogue or our web-page. Using a
special spark plug with a thermocouple
built in, Bosch engineers find the
hottest cylinder in an engine and then
test various spark plugs in that cylinder
until the ideal plug is found.
This ensures that you will always get
the best performance possible.
I want to use Bosch spark plugs, but
have modified my engine by adding a
performance system. Can I still use
the plug listed in the catalogue for my
vehicle?
If you have modified your engine
with a performance system such as a
turbocharger, supercharger, or nitrous,
the recommended spark plug may not
be correct.
You may need to use a plug with a
colder heat range to compensate for
the additional heat generated by the
engine. Bosch recommends that in
these situations, you consult a qualified
engine builder for assistance in
determining the appropriate heat range.
How often do I need to change my
plugs?
As a rule, Bosch recommends that you
follow the replacement interval listed in
your vehicle owners manual, however
we highly recommend that you inspect
(read) your spark plugs annually and
replace as required, to insure optimum
engine performance.
Do Bosch spark plugs meet original

equipment requirements?
What are the advantages of surface air

gap plugs? (eg. FLR8LDCU+)
Yes! Bosch spark plugs meet or exceed

warranty requirements of all vehicle
and engine manufacturers, and when
properly installed in accordance with
the recommended application, will not
adversely affect the emission control
system of any vehicle.
To validate the improved performance

of surface air gap plugs with multiple
ground electrodes, extensive testing
was conducted in the laboratory and in
the field:
What about vehicle manufacturer

warranties?
Consumers are sometimes told by an
automobile dealers service writer or
mechanic that a brand of replacement
spark plug cannot be used in the
consumers vehicle during the warranty
period. The claim is made that use of
the brand will void the warranty, with
the statement or implication that only
the original equipment brand of spark
plugs may be used. This, of course,
tends to cast doubt on the quality of
the replacement spark plug. That claim
is not true. Under the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act and general principles
of the Federal Trade Commission Act,
a manufacturer may not require the
use of any brand of spark plug (or any
other article) unless the manufacturer
provides the item free of charge under
the terms of the warranty.
So, if the consumer is told that only the
original equipment spark plug will not
void the warranty, they should request
that the OE spark plug be provided free
of charge. If they are charged for the
spark plug, the manufacturer or dealer
is in violation of the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act.
Does theBosch part number have
meaning to help detemine the
specifications of the plug?
Yes! Refer to page A12 - A13 of our
catalogue which is also available from
our web site www.bosch.com.au
2008
The first test measured the energy

transfer efficiency of the two-electrode
plug compared to conventional and
other premium plugs with a single
ground electrode. This certified
laboratory test measured the
additional pressure generated by the
spark discharge in a pressure
chamber. Higher pressure equals a
higher energy transfer by the spark.
The test showed that the two electrode plugs transferred more
energy to the air/fuel mixture resulting
in improved driveablility and lower
emissions.
As a spark plug wears via erosion &
corrosion, the gap between the
centre & ground electrodes gets larger.
The larger the gap, the more voltage
is required to produce a spark, until
the capability of the ignition system
is exceeded and the plug misfires. It
was found that the multiple ground
electrode, yttrium centre electrode
plug reduces gap erosion & increasing
voltage requirements over time.
Tests for carbon fouling were
simulated in a cold cell by repeatedly
cooling, starting and operating the
engine without letting the spark plugs
reach their self-cleaning temperature.
This cycle does not let the spark plug
reach its self-cleaning temperature
and allows the formation of carbon
deposits.
The tests found that multiple ground
electrode spark plugs had better cold
restart reliability than conventional
plugs.

Does technology used in racing plugs

find its way into Bosch spark plugs?
Yes! Racing, as it has for 100 years,
provides a great developmental impetus
and test bed for spark plug durability
and performance, and what is learned
at Indy or Darlington, or Le Mans or
Bathurst helps improve the spark plugs
installed in todays cars or trucks. From
the 2003 and 2004 V8 Supercar
Championships won by Stone Brothers

Racing, Marcus Ambrose have used
Bosch spark plugs.
Also the first Indy 500 won by Ray
Harrouns Marmon Wasp to the last
17 Indy 500 winners, and many in
between, each have used Bosch spark
plugs.
Many premium passenger car spark

plugs use multiple ground electrodes
and precious metals, such as yttrium
and platinum, which are a direct result
of their development and testing in long
distance racing.
GLOSSARY
Multi Ground.
Plugs with multiple ground electrodes
are called multi ground. These plugs
also use surface gap spark patterns and
the multiple ground electrodes increase
service life.
Surface Gap
Surface gap technology is when the
ground electrode is to the side of the
centre electrode. There can be no
ground electrode (racing applications),
multiple ground electrodes (PT+4 and
PT2), or a single ground electrode.
These spark plugs have improved
efficiency and a higher probability of
igniting a lean air/fuel mixture.
Resistor
Many spark plugs have a special
conductive glass seal between the
centre electrode and the terminal
stud. This seal acts as a resistor in the
plug which reduces the transmission
of pulses of energy to the ignition
cables. These pulses can cause Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) with
electrical components in the car. For
some newer cars, resistor plugs are
required for effective communication
between the plugs and the electronic
ignition.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)

When the spark plug creates a spark,
a high frequency burst of energy is
created. If this energy was to travel
through the ignition wires, it could
cause interference with other sensitive
electronic devices, such as the radio
or electronic control units. The resistor
in the spark plug reduces this energy
before it causes interference with other
electrical components.
Fouling
Fouling occurs when a plug becomes
contaminated with fuel, oil, or other
contaminates that prevent the plug
from generating a spark. Most plugs
today are designed to reduce fouling
and become self-cleaning when they
reach 500 degrees Celsius. However,
short trips, low speed driving, improper
spark plug heat range (too cold),
improper timing, or an oil leak in the
combustion chamber can cause a spark
plug to become fouled.
Bridging
Over time, contaminants can build on
the surface of the spark plug if it does
not reach self-cleaning temperature
often. These build-ups can grow
between the electrodes until they
are actually connected by a bridge of
contaminants. This will often cause
misfire
Flashover
Occurs when the spark does not jump
between the electrodes within the
combustion chamber, but instead
jumps between the metal shell and the
terminal on top of the plug. This will
always cause a misfire since the air/fuel
mixture will not be ignited. Bosch spark
plugs have a ribbed insulator to prevent
flashover.
Quenching
The purpose of a spark plug is to
introduce enough heat into the
combustion chamber to initiate a
smooth burn of the air/fuel mixture.
Quenching occurs when that heat
generated by the spark is re-absorbed
back into the ground electrode, the
centre electrode, and the ceramic
insulation. To reduce quenching and
ensure an efficient transfer of heat,
Bosch Platinum+4 and Platinum2 spark
plugs use surface gap technologies.

Correct installation of spark plugs without torque wrench :

Screw in spark plug by hand until it is seated in the cylinder
head. New spark plugs with flat seat are then given a further
approx. 90 turn with a spark plug wrench. The figure for
spark plugs with a conical seat and used spark plugs with a
flat seat is approx. 15.

Spark plug terminal nuts :

Engines may be fitted with spark plugs of a different length
to Bosch spark plugs.

1. Screw out old spark plugs.

2. Compare to new Bosch spark plugs.
3. If the exchanged spark plug is longer than the Bosch
spark plug, replace the screwed-on terminal nut A with
the longer terminal nut B provided.
Note :
In so far as they were not received from the motor vehicle or
engine manufacturer, the spark plug recommendations have
been drawn up by Bosch.
The spark plugs recommended apply to standard operating
conditions for series models, however not to racing, special
and high performance versions, unless such models are
specifically listed.
Double Platinum
Particular operating conditions may make it necessary to use

heat ranges other than those recommended.
If plugs with the specified electrode gap are not available,
the electrode gap must be adjusted.
It is advisable to use the Bosch spark plug gauge for this
purpose.

LPG
LPG Only (retrofit)
Lead Replacement Fuel
When operating on LPG GAS, the

internal combustion pressures and
temperatures are higher, this results in
a higher voltage required for ionisation.
(the spark to jump the electrode gap.)
With older contact ignition systems,
a reduction in the spark plug gap
compensates for this higher voltage
requirement.
Gas operation also causes less
deposits and fouling, so the heat range
selection can be one range colder than
the petrol plug.
In older cars the electrode gap needs

to be set 0.1 - 0.2 mm smaller and the
heat range should be one range colder.
Misfire due to carbon fouling is unlikely
and the colder plug should increase
service life.
LRP has taken the place of leaded

petrol in most service stations around
Australia. This fuel is burning at a lower
combustion temperature self cleaning
of the spark plug must be increased to
burn off the chemical residue.
Eg : WR8DC+ 0.8mm (petrol) to

WR7DC+ 0.7mm (LPG).
Ongoing testing in the Australian

market shows that it may be beneficial
in some vehicles to use a higher
heat range spark plug than currently
recommended.
The correct spark plug will depend on

whether the vehicle is run completely
on LPG or is dual fuel. Special attention
should be paid to older contact ignition
systems ( as follows). Where LPG is
not specified in the application section,
follow the guidelines below :
In high energy ignition systems the
recommendation generally remains
unchanged between LPG and Petrol.
However your driving conditions and
LPG Petrol ratio may affect this.
Dual Fuel
The spark plug is usually measured in
petrol mode and you will need to make
a compromise between the operation
on both fuel types.
If you use mainly LPG the electrode gap
should be reduced 0.1 - 0.2 mm and
go one heat range colder.
Eg : WR8DC+ 0.8mm (petrol) to
WR7DC+ 0.7mm (LPG).
Note that if this vehicle runs on petrol
in stop / start traffic it can misfire if
using the LPG plug.
Note that electrode gap changes
greater than 0.2 mm should be avoided.
Do not regap Super 4s.
1hp = 0.736Kw
i.e. :
Ford Laser KA, KB 1.3, 1.5L 1981-1985
Current recommendation: WR8DC+
If problems are experienced due to
LRP, we suggest trying WR9DC+
If no problems have been experienced
in the change from leaded petrol LRP
or ULP then no changes should be
made to the application.
However if you have fouling (mainly
in stop / start driving conditions) this
change may be of benefit.
The same rule applies to Super 4 and
Platinum spark plugs. The gap remains
unchanged and should be set as per
the catalogue recommendation.
Electrode Gap
Specified electrode gap

If spark plugs with the specified electrode gap are not

available, the electrode must be adjusted.
We recommend that you use the Bosch spark plug gap gauge
to do this.
