On the dealership, tell them to pull their head in...Go to Repco, Autopro, or Autobahn.
That plug(BKUR6ET) is what is recommended for the VW 1.8T engine in the NGK catalogue. PFR6Q is probably another brands part number.


Beru's part number is 14FGH-DTUR.
Denso's part number is K20PBR.
Torch's part number is K6TJC.

aparently that was the part number on the NGK plug when they took it out?

did you replace yours with the one that was reccomended?

Ok, I put NGK BKUR6ET Plugs in my 1.8T (AGU)

After searching, this is what I found;

- NGK BKUR6ET (no listing for Polo 1.8T)
- Bosch FR7DPP33 (no listing for Polo 1.8T)
- Denso K20PBRS10 (no listing for Polo 1.8T)

Looked up a US website and for the American Market (Golf / Jetta 1.8T) the OEM Replacement Plug is what you took out; NGK PFR6Q

I would call NGK in OZ or send them an email and see what they come up with as a cross reference for this plug.
Do places like autObarn sell NGK PFR6Q?

Keep us up to date!

No, I think from 2001 the Audi used DBW. Thus a different engine code. AMM, AWM etc. etc.

All VW GTI's (1.8T) use AGU engines (Throttle Cable).

See if you can take the others back and then get the NGK PFR6Q, as they are obviously available here in OZ.

Not all that surprising from the stealers, the NGK part for the VR6 is a group 6 plug and will set you back about $12 from AutoPro, Supercheap etc etc, the VW boxed part is the same plug and I have been quoted between $30 and $40 per plug, so your $35 seems about normal. Guess what I bought.

This is from the factory manual in reference to spark plugs.
Spark plug test data
Engine codes BJX
Firing order 1-3-4-2
Spark plugs → Note
VW/Audi 101,000,063 AA
Manufacturer's designation PFR 6 Q
Electrode gap max. 0.8 mm
Torque setting 30 Nm
Change interval 60,000 km

thought you might find it useful to see this chart:

i guess if you find the correct plug for the GTI in the NGK catalog then you can cross reference the measurements etc with other brands.

I've recently replaced my sparkers.

I found PFR6Q to be NGK's OEM part number.

For aftermarket NGK equivalent, lookout for BKUR6ET (Platinum I think) or BKR6E-IX (NGK Iridiums).
