Thread: After Market bits for servicing D2 ?

Ryco oil filter is OK, but I'd always fit genuine or Coopers
Genuine or Coopers Air Filter
NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
Penrite Semi Synthetic Oil
Magnacore leads (fit once and forget for life)
Genuine Brake Pads, if you do not wish to run the '3 Amigos' (doesnt happen to everyone - In fact I run Bendix on Slotted Rotors no problem)

Just wanted to mention, no off road for me either at this stage. All highway and local trips - not sure if that makes a diff to the type of brands?

cheers

Tombie is spot on,,
but your biggest cost will be the physical replacement of the leads by a pro,, IF required--

you can do them yourself,,
if you have small hands,,

as for leads,, I'm not sure HOW to check them WITHOUT
removing them--

any ideas people??

Hi All,
hope you're well...

I'm needing some help please with part numbers or some form of reference number etc . As fantastic as it is - I have gone through the RAVE CD and unless I am missing something can't for the life of me find the information.

Specifically:

** Spark Plugs - NGK Iridium or Platinum. Is there a particular reference number for each of these plugs? Was quoted for Denso at $17.00 each. What's Denso??

** Magnecor Leads. I'd be after the full set. Is 8" standard length or should I need 9"? I have been quoted at 140 for the full set.

** Oil Filter - Genuine - model/part/ref #: ?

** Air Filter - Genuine or model/part/ref #: ?
Coopers - model/part/ref #: ?

** Brake Pads - Lucas or Lockheed? Not sure of the spelling. Are these pretty standard/genuine? ($90 front. $80.00 rear).

BTW - I think my MAF is naffed or is on its last legs so to speak - quoted at $330 new. I'll be giving it a clean with CRC MAF cleaner but think inevitably in the end it will need replacing so have factored that in my 'budget'/. (I've got stacks of info already on MAF and everything relating to MAF from searches done on the forum)

I think all up, including penrite branded oils etc the quote for parts came in at a little over $700.00.

If anyone can help me with part/reference numbers (**) or point me in the direction of where the information is in the RAVE cd that would be reeeeeeealy appreciated For the sanity of my back pocket i'd like to call a few other places for quotes but have no idea on the specifics required to relay back!

Thanks,
Lp

** Oil Filter - Genuine - model/part/ref #: ? ERR3340

That helps a little

Thanks for the reply and info and corrections for me :-)

How does the Nippon Denso brand compare to the NGK brand or are they the same?

cheers

go NGK.

Thanks Pedro, I am glad I ask the questions again - as annoying as it may be perhaps to some ....

I've found some of the info on the RAVE CD that I mentioned earlier I couldn't find - however... now I am equally confused.

How do you know whether you have a low compression or high compression engine... which will ultimately determine the viscosity from the chart on the RAVE cd...

Also, the spark plugs that the RAVE Cd refers to are: champion RC11 PYP B4. What's the NGK equivalent of those - does it still make reference to the RC11 or some other alpha/numerical reference?

Thanks again, any help always appreciated!

Cheers
