...or FR
If it's for the first ones it will be Champion N7BYC or N7YCC or equivalent.
If for the FR it will be Champion N7YCC or N7YC (or equivalent).
Electrode gap:-
About 0,7 to 0.8 mm. (some have 3 electrodes - just whack them in - they are already adjusted).
Hope this helps, but go to your local car accessory shop - they will help.

Re: Spark plug codes?
Arrrgh, ive lost the bloody code i had on my phone!
How do i find out my engine code?
Why isn't there just a code for the 1.6 1988?
I bought the plugs from ebay and they are Bosch ones, they need the code for them

Re: Spark plug codes?
From the FAQ
http://sciroccoregisterforum.co.uk/faq/ ... p/#more-69
Stock Engines for Mk2
EW - 1.6l 8v carb approx 75BHp
Easy upgrade is to an EX as very little needs to be changed.
EX - 1.8l 8v carb approx 90BHp
Easy upgrade would be a KR on side-draught carbs. Fuel injection requires new pump and fuel lines.
DX - 1.8l 8v K-jet injection approx 110BHp
Easy upgrade would be a KR running K-jet injection.

I know it's a long time replying - hope you sorted it.
The Haynes manual or your local accessory dealer (I've got a good one) should be able to sort you out.
