V6 PLUG LEADS
« on: 29 August 2009, 20:03:48 »
Does anybody know what aftermarket leads are best(or at least the same lenth) for the v6 as every set ive tried so far seem to be too long.
TIA

Are you routing them correctly, in the clips? I'd have thought too long is better than too short...

I havent fitted any new ones yet as all of the ones i've had are way too long ie gm lead 6 is about "3 long and after market lead 6 is about "12.  And the leads just come as 3 pairs of matched lenth instead of 6 different lenths like the gm ones

I think only the Vauxhall genuine ones will be the correct size. All the Bosch ones i've fitted have been to long on plugs 4 and 6

I've just ordered some leads from Vauxhall World Parts. They are listed as genuine so we shall see when they arrive. They were £63 I believe.

Will let you know when I get them

As long as they last until December - then "miss Tatty oldbit" should be going down the scrappy. :)
