Subject:      How often should one replace sparking plugs?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


  On these small injected motors, how long is the average plug life?  Mine
is not a WBX but it had Digifant and it's pushing a van and it's
a teenie-weenie 1.8 liters of VW power.


Every year?  Every 20k miles?  Anybody want to recommend an interval?  When
I got the van about 30k miles ago, the plugs were  quite 'eroded'...the gap
was up at about .040 or .050 but it was still running and starting
'normally' and I didn't really notice any gross improvement when I stuck in
some new plugs..  Just doing my spring maintenance, Oil, all filters, change
tranny oil, spray lube all the suspension, alignment check, wipers, etc
etc.  Plugs and cap, too?
