I�ve been going through the archives for the last hour and am summarizing my findings here. Bosch�s old numbering system uses a combination of letters and numbers which designate the physical characteristics of the plug. Their new system is a four digit number. The Bosch OEM plug that came with the engine is called the Bosch �Super� plug. Its number is W7CC0 or 7598. Lots of people like this plug. It is cross referenced as an NGK B6ES. The cheaper version of the OEM plug is the Bosch W7CC. There was a suggestion in the archives that they don�t last as long as the W7CC0. I was not able to determine the difference between the two types. Its NGK cross reference number is also B6ES. A couple of people vociferously recommend the Tri-electrode Bosch plug with the part number W7DTC. It was OEM on �85 WBXs and is used in numerous other automotive applications as well. It is cross referenced to NGK BP6ET. A couple of people also recommend the Platinum plug, which is more expensive than the OEM one. Its Bosch number is 4233. There is no four electrode �Platinum +4� plug recommended for the 2.1L WBX. Other manufacturers apart from Bosch and NGK offer similar ranges of options. Spark up happily! --tabe johnson xtabe@yahoo.com '87 Westy ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
