Spark Plugs on 172FF, Gaps of them, torqueing and fitting..



Does anyone know what the proper spark plugs are for a 2002 172 ff model ?

I've heard a few people mentioning NGK's, but i cant remember what ones (Ngk model number if you get what i mean) :(

As i fancied changing mine before the due 72k miles :) (i'm on 49500 miles now.


And does anyone know what price they'd be from Renault ?

As i was gonna just go there for convenience if they are a reasonableish price.


Another thing, does my plenum thing (Renault Sport upper manifold bit) need to come off to fit them ?

If so would i need a new manifold gasket ?

And what torque would the new spark plugs and the manifold bolts on refitting get torqued to ?

Or are they just up hand tight as tight as can with a ratchet and socket ?

And one more thing are the gaps already set on the plugs ?


Cheers and sorry for all questions.

And what torque would they get torqued to ? 25nm i think for plugs

about £5 for the gasket

remove the pipe between the airbox and the throttle body

then remove the plenham/throttle body complete
