What spark plugs are used in the Volkswagen Polo?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Polo's original spark plugs are NGK-ZFR5EGP and Bosch Y7LER02, which are nickel alloy spark plugs with a replacement interval of 20,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are a crucial component of a gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high voltage into the combustion chamber, creating a spark across the electrode gap to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. They mainly consist of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. Generally, spark plugs should be replaced after 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers under normal maintenance conditions. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is recommended to follow the owner's manual. Refer to the following maintenance standards for replacement: platinum spark plugs at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
