Will these fit?

Post by Philip Chidlow »

I have unearthed a set of new Bosch FR 5 DCX spark plugs but I don't seem to be able to find out if they'll fit my BX GTi 8v...

Anyone know?

AX yes, Bx no
Phil, If I am reading the above link correctly then your Bosch plugs are equivalent to the NGK ones that Jon recommends! :D

Do remember that just because they fit in the holes, it doesn't necessarily mean that they won't burn holes in your pistons ;-)

Of course! I was being flippant maybe :roll:

I will probably fit NGKs anyway!
