Awhile back Denis recommended these plugs: Bosch 4477. Upon this recommendation I ordered some from my Bosch supplier. They arrived yesterday and I now see these are the Bosch Platinum with four tips. Now, here's my question, anyone have any real life experience with these plugs in the 1.9 and 2.1 waterboxer engines ? I seem to recall having bad experience with them here. Seems to me the ignition system on the waterboxer engined Vanagon's is not powerful enough to fire these plugs correctly. Am I just dreaming or what ?
