Tip 8: Keep The Spark Alive – New Spark Plugs

Spark Plugs Light Up Your Engine

Spark plugs are placed within the engine, delivering spark to the combustion chamber in an environment that is extremely hot and pressured. Over time the spark plugs build up carbon deposits and impurities that reduce their effectiveness and the effectiveness of the engine to produce power.

There are many types of spark plugs, most maintain their performance for 10,000km to 20,000km and should be replaced during a regular service.

Note: there are some premium spark plugs, like platinum spark plugs, that last longer such as up to 100,000km. Call 13 20 42 for your ACE Mobile Mechanics should your car be due for a service.
