What spark plugs are used in Geely Vision?
3 Answers
Geely Vision 1.5L models use Torch KL6RTC nickel alloy spark plugs. The 1.3T models use Torch LDK7RIU single iridium spark plugs. What are spark plugs composed of: Spark plugs mainly consist of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. What types of spark plugs are there: Main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs. Spark plug replacement cycle: Under normal maintenance conditions, they should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
With years of experience in car repair, I can say that choosing spark plugs for the Geely Vision depends on the engine model and year. Early 1.5L versions typically use standard copper-core spark plugs, such as NGK's BPR6ES or Bosch's FR7DC+, with a heat range of 6, which is suitable for city driving. Later engine upgrades may require iridium or platinum types for improved ignition efficiency and longer lifespan. DIY replacement isn't difficult—just buy the matching model and tighten according to the manual, being careful not to over-tighten to avoid damaging the threads. For brands, stick to reputable manufacturers like NGK; cheaper domestic options like Torch are acceptable, but avoid counterfeit products that compromise performance. Regular inspection and replacement every 20,000 km can prevent ignition issues and increased fuel consumption, ensuring smoother driving. Quality spark plugs also ensure reliable cold starts in winter—proper maintenance keeps the car running smoothly and saves money in the long run.
Our family has been driving a Geely Vision for several years. Last time when the spark plugs were failing, the ignition was always problematic. I replaced them with Bosch FR7DC+, and the effect was great with quick power recovery. Doing it myself saved some money, but small tools are needed as the engine compartment is tight; it's advisable to learn from videos. My experience is that the original manufacturer's recommended model is the safest, don't go for cheap no-name brands to avoid short lifespan; platinum types are more durable but slightly more expensive, worth the price. For city driving, check every two to three years, and replace them when you feel the car shaking or slow to start. Keeping the electrodes clean can extend their lifespan, and regular maintenance keeps the engine quiet and fuel-efficient—small details shouldn't be overlooked.
