Did you know that a bad spark plug can reduce your engine’s performance and worst case destroy your catalytic convertor?


A defective spark plug may not ignite the fuel mix in the engine cylinder, if this occurs the engine then runs irregularly reducing the power output. Unignited fuel can then make its way into the catalytic convertor and cause permanent damage. It is essential to comply with the replacement interval for spark plugs. Entrust the replacement of plugs to the experts at your authorised ŠKODA service dealer who can guarantee the correct installation.
The quality and design of your spark plug determines the performance of the engine and its reliability. A correctly set spark plug positively influences the combustion process of a petrol engine and thereby the volume of waste emissions. A spark plug also has an effect on the starting of the engine, its performance and service life not to mention its consumption of fuel and exhaust gas composition.

Engines of the latest generation ŠKODA vehicles are fitted with Longlife spark plugs. The modern materials and latest technology used during their production guarantee the best functioning of our spark plugs and thereby shift the replacement interval for the Octavia RS model to 90,000 km. The quality and design of spark plugs determines the performance of the engine and its reliability.
