>>Howdy... I turned my crummy Bosch Platinum +4's in today and got some
real
>>plugs. For a '98 318 the P/N for the Champion Truck plug is 4071. I'd be
>>really surprised if it's a different P/N for a sixer (they are sold in
>>packs of six BTW) but have them look it up on the computer anyway.

>>To add insult to injury when returning the +4's, the manager that was

they
>>were not for use in truck engines... He also wondered who had sold them
to
>>me. I was mad enough that I simply said, ask the guy on your left... He
>>turned red as a tomato and I'm sure he had some choice words for his
>>employee after I left!

>>I don't generally go out of my way to get somebody in trouble, but I asked

>>bought them... He assured me they were every time and started to get a
bit
>>huffy the last time I asked, so I think he got pretty much what he
