That's great, I thought I read on the Fast German Auto site that those platinum +4's only fit the 2.1.... And that the 1.9L heads didn't have enough headroom......maybe I'm thinking of my 911 It's going to be nice to put platinums in the Van.

should be the same as for the 2.1 .. W7DTC. i have used them for many years now, and like them a lot. kinda hard to set the gap, but i think they've smoothed out my idle rpm and my overall overage mpg went up 1.1 mpg since i started using them (70,000 miles ago) ... i can't prove it was the spark plugs, but i can't see anything else that i've changed. go figure. :)
