shaun-c Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 HI all, I have recently been looking around eBay for some cheap spark plugs for my 1995 1.1 Fiesta mk3, and i came across a set i was interested in. Now to make sure these were the right ones for me i messaged the seller and asked if they would work in my car, unfortunately he replied NO :( they will not be suitable for a 1.1. So out of curiosity really, I ask you, why would these plugs work in a 1.4 mk3 but not a 1.1 mk3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 its most likely a different thread lenght or operation heat range. two different plugs are listed in ngk the 1.1 takes BPR6EF and the 1.4 takes BCPR6E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you would find any difference with them at all and unless you wanted lewis hamiltons signature well theres no point lol have a look at this search... cheapest are £6 plus £2 postage http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/__fiesta-1-1-...Q_sopZ15QQ_scZ1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
