R56 Spark Plugs, also torques.
Spark Plugs, also torques.
Hi,
I actually DID search. It seemed most that popped up was older,
and nothing was really resolved.
I would like to get spark plugs I prefer to get the good ones, whatever
they have been determined to be. Since the book will probably
never be released I'll need the torque for them.
Please post a link on the best place to get the spark plugs.
In addition, I need to know the torque for the oil pan bolts.
I thank you very much.

Here is a link to my blog where I described my DIY spark plug replacement. I went with Brisk plugs. Only about a month now, so I am still assessing them.
Both write ups are great!
Can you confirm that for the Justa that the gap is .018.
I plan to get the BERU but I always like to check the gap.
I'll use the spark plug anti sieze stuff as well.
Big help to me!

I found the gap to be 1.0.
I am having trouble finding these plugs for less than $30 each.
Can somebody post me the link for the spark plug best place to buy them.
I have the R56 Justa 2007.
My inclination is to go with the normal regular replacement OEM simply
because I have not had any trouble with this car and I don't want to
worry about debugging or wondering about stuff in the future.
A link on where to get them most effectively.
Thank you.

Here is a Parts Geek listing for what I think is the Beru plug for a 2007 MC. Sorry, but I'm not sure what the proper gap would be for the Beru plugs.
The correct gap is 1.0mm just as you will have seen in my basic guide, also do NOT use any anti seize compound, this is not necessary nor is it recommended.

My sidekick says to just clean them.
???
Also, he is very skeptical about the no use of anti sieze.
(I realize the people on this site have knocked down the cobwebs
on stuff already)

Spark plugs come with a trivalent coating applied to the threads from the factory, this prevents seizure!
Anti seize compound applied to the spark plug threads, can find it's way on installation onto the ground electrode!
When anti seize compound is used, this reduces the thread pitch biting resistance, and does give torque tightening inaccuracies, you will find that the slip resistance from the anti seize compound, allows you to over tighten your spark plugs, due to the increased slip resistance, this can and sometimes does break the seal on the spark plug between the metal body and the ceramic, allowing improper gas sealing and heat transfer efficiency!
