Dealer/shop spark plug change & cost ?

I've used beru, bosch, and ngk without any problems for many years.

Thanks Loren. How about the type/brand of plugs for that vehicle,what would you recommend ?

"Porsche" brand spark plugs do not exist. Porsche has "approved" spark plugs from both Bosch and Beru - with specific heat ranges/types.

Give us the exact year and model number of your car and we can tell you the type/range to buy.

Ok ,it's a 2002 C2 996 (see my post above) can you give me the part numbers heat ranger etc ?

Thanks a bunch Loren. It's a : 2002 Carrera coupe 996 C2 320 HP 3.6 liters , serial # WPOAA 2991 2S620376 (<< if that helps) As some one else previously said I don't know if it has the spark plug tubes/sleeves or not, as it is a 2002 and perhaps some did come with them,and some not for that year ? I have noticed a few small drops of oil under the car occasionally, I just hope its from the spark plug area, and NOT the infamous rms problem that is attached to these cars, allegedly they fixed that several years ago when I first got it at the dealer ?

Any info you can give me would be much appreciated, as to where to get the plugs (and tubes if needed ? ) cost , and specifically the brand & type needed.

Thanks loads Dave.

I suggest Bosch or Beru - Porsche calls out this heat range/type for your car FGR 5KQE0

I have seen many a car with a "weeping" RMS after it has been repaired - as I said if it a few drops I not worry. If it is a puddle I do.

Central VA dealers want $500+ for plugs and labor on 2000 996 non turbo.

With a hoist and the proper tools it is 1 hour job.

Try another shop is my advice.
