Get NGK PFR8S8EG Laser Platinum Spark Plug AUDI, VW, Porsche, Bentley
A Laser Platinum spark plug is a high-performance spark plug that features platinum electrodes welded using laser technology. This precision manufacturing process ensures strong bonds and enhances the overall efficiency, durability, and performance of the spark plug.
Benefits of Laser Platinum Spark Plugs
1. Enhanced Durability
- Platinum Electrodes: The platinum used in these spark plugs provides excellent durability and resistance to wear. Platinum can withstand high temperatures and harsh conditions within the combustion chamber, leading to a longer lifespan compared to traditional copper spark plugs.
- Laser Welding: Precision laser welding of the platinum disc to the electrodes ensures a strong bond and enhances the overall durability of the spark plug.
2. Improved Performance
- Efficient Ignition: The fine-wire platinum electrodes require less voltage to produce a spark. This leads to more efficient and reliable ignition of the air-fuel mixture.
- Consistent Performance: The precise construction and durable materials help maintain a consistent spark, leading to smoother engine performance and better throttle response.
3. Better Fuel Efficiency
- Complete Combustion: More efficient ignition and consistent performance result in more complete combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This improves fuel efficiency, helping to reduce fuel consumption and lower running costs.
- Reduced Emissions: Efficient combustion also means fewer unburned fuel particles, which translates to reduced emissions and a cleaner engine operation.
4. Extended Service Intervals
- Longer Lifespan: The durable materials and construction of Laser Platinum spark plugs mean they need to be replaced less frequently than traditional plugs. This extends the service intervals and reduces maintenance costs and efforts.
Signs a Car Needs New Spark Plugs
1. Difficulty Starting the Engine
- If your car is hard to start or takes longer than usual to turn over, it could be a sign that the spark plugs are worn out and not providing the necessary spark.
2. Rough Idling
- When the engine is running, it should run smoothly. If you notice the engine is shaking or making unusual noises while idling, it might indicate that the spark plugs are failing.
3. Engine Misfires
- Misfires occur when the air-fuel mixture in the engine’s cylinders fails to ignite properly. This can cause the engine to run unevenly or jerk during acceleration.
4. Decreased Fuel Efficiency
- If you notice that your car’s fuel economy has dropped, it could be because the spark plugs are not igniting the fuel as efficiently as they should.
5. Poor Acceleration
- Worn spark plugs can result in a loss of engine power, making the car sluggish and slow to respond when you press the accelerator.
6. Engine Surging or Hesitation
- Surging happens when the engine increases speed unexpectedly, while hesitation is a delay in the engine’s response. Both can be caused by faulty spark plugs.
7. Check Engine Light
- The check engine light can be triggered by various issues, including failing spark plugs. An engine diagnostic can pinpoint whether the spark plugs are the cause.
