AW: [Peugeot-L] American plugs in a Japanese car

OnOnHello guys,

for Simca-Talbot-models I prefer to sell "Eyquiem"-plugs made in France. OnAt our 505 V6 and the 605 SV 3.o - only NGK.

Peugeot kicked "Champion" out of their sortiment because they had trouble with their quality.

I had bad experiences with Bosch-Plugs 2 times: The corpus teared apart Onand I had to drill out the downer part of the plug out of the head of my On505 Turbo, another time at my Matra Murena 1.6. Since then I never again Onbought Bosch - and I also don´t sell them...

Cheers

Guys,

  Personally, and professionally, I don't put 'Murican plugs into anything! NGK or Denso (Japanese) are the only things I install, except, of course, Lodge plugs for the Italian cars I service (and even there, NGKs work well). Bosch used to be good, but I believe that their quality has taken a nosedive over the past 5 years, so I don't even bother with those anymore.
