Are these spark plugs passed it!!

Just started doing a service on a 2003 Vectra 1.8 with near 100,000 miles on the clock.

Are these sparks passed it would you say??

Old


New

Looks fine, certainly not past it.

Not massively. I've seen far worse.

A bit of T cut and they'll be fine... Oh wait.

They look fine but as you've already pulled them and got new ones I wouldn't be putting the old ones back in.

Edit - Just noticed the lack of electrode on the old one, bin 'em.

Is it just me, or do the new ones look the wrong size?..

Measure from the base of the nut to the tip of the plug. Hold them side by side. The original ones have the model no on them too..

This!

Tip/electrode design is different..

I'd be chucking the reg plate into eurocarparts and a few different similar sites to get the right NGK code.

I think that's Vecra C..

Two different engines listed..

They are the same. I checked on NGKs website. The new ones are from VX.
No electrode left on the old ones and they done 50,000 miles looking at the service history.
