NGK Spark Plugs for a VTS
For the sake of argument, can anyone confirm the correct spec NGK spark plug for an 03 plate Saxo VTS?

Interesting, I got told BKR6EK, by EuroCarParts and Citroen. There is a reason behind my asking, I'll show you in a minute when I've sorted some pictures.
Need to find out the difference between the BKR6EK and BKR6EZ now!

Right, basically I picked up a 2003 VTS at the start of the week, and it didn't idle very well, which I put down to the chav spec poorly installed air filter, which has been lashed in place of the standard airbox.
Last night I serviced it, and the plugs I've removed were a completely different length to the ones I've fitted, much longer?! None of the old plugs were in tight either, which I'm thinking was lucky because they must have been protuding far too far into the combustion chamber?
Old vs new:

Pictures didn't work,
I've always used BKR6EZ in mine. The only difference between the EK and EZ is the running temps

Just sorted the picture, that's good to know then. So the plugs I've took out were completely incorrect.
It idles far, far better now with the new plugs I've just fitted.

iirc the longer plugs are meant for the jp4 head as its a bit deeper? either way new plugs sort your problem ok?

Aha, that might make sense then.
Yeah spot on, new plugs seem to have made a world of difference.
Just need to sort a standard airbox now and get rid of the monstrosity that's fitted currently. It's actually got "Max Power" engraved in it!
