Subject:Re: Split fires (Can Vanagon Use Bosch 3-Pronged Plugs?)

Bosch Super W7CC0 is the factory specified spark plugs for Vanagon.  Bosch
catalog said WR7CP Platinum is for Vanagon.  I've never seen any catalogs
said Vanagon can use Bosch W7DTC 3-pronged plugs.  W7DTC is for
Golf/Jetta's, not for Vanagon's.  The key point is the difference between
'C' and 'D' after the '7'.  For Bosch spark plugs, '7' is the heat value
and 'C'/'D' is the thread reach.   Or if Bosch makes W7CTC plugs....

Forget the Split Fires.  Buy the Bosch Supers-they are more expensive-
about
$7.95.  They are the 3 pronged plugs.  I use them and have been very happy
with them.
