Spark Plugs

What sort of miles do these need replaced at? I have a 172, what would be the best make. Was thinking of Bosch super 4s. I think the standard fitted plugs are NGK.

The standard ones from renault are Champion.

I think the 172 is the same as others and dotn need to be replaced till 36k or 72k says in the Handbook under Renewing.

would think it would be about 36-40k. dont gwet the super 4s, never heard a good word said about them from anyone other than bosch. Get NGKs, have used them in all the cars ive owned and never had a problem, and i drive my cars hard all the time.

get the standard renault ones, and they need changing every 72K on RS clios.

If you look at the Dailogy, there are 2 kinds of sparkplug, one is Renault brand and one is NGK-R which I think both works fine, as long as the sparkplug gap are correct. I saw both from the dealer. I selected NGK-R and it seems they work fine.

I so not agree to change the plug every 72k. That is a lot. You should check your sparkplug every 9 months I guess, to make sure the plug are in good condition. Problem can tell from plug sometimes.
