bosch #4202

[Cory_Langford at bcit.ca (Cory Langford)]

I tried platinum once in a roc and the are not a wise choice.  for some 
reason the ignition system fouls these plugs very quickly.

Also found that the bosch plugs that have the 4 grounds for the electrodes 
also seem to cause problems.

The nice cheap copper ones still work the best in old rocs - even turbo 
rocs :)

It looks as if that's a platinum plug.  Even if it physically fits,
conventional wisdom (among the Mercedes gurus, anyway) is that you
don't use platinum plugs in anything older than 1992.  Poor idle is
the main complaint when used with older ignitions.  I'm not sure what
the collective opinion and experience is re: VWs.. but I'm sure you'll
get it.
