Sparking Power and Fuel Efficiency

WITH increasing engine performance requirements, ignition efficiency is a key factor in modern vehicles.

Bosch spark plugs offer the highest vehicle coverage for all domestic and imported cars, vans, SUVs and light trucks.

Bosch spark plugs include the Super Plus which is an OE (original equipment) quality spark plug that is considered to be the best non- platinum spark plug in the market.

The Bosch Super Plus is designed for improved starting performance and better energy transmission.

Advantages of the Bosch Super Plus include having a nickel- yttrium alloy with copper core centre electrode for high level protection against corrosion and wear, as well as a sharpened, profiled ground electrode for reliable ignition performance which results in reduced fuel consumption, smoother acceleration and increased driving comfort.

Being an economical solution, the Bosch Super Plus provides 50 per cent longer service life compared with conventional copper core OE plugs, and has a lifespan of between 30,000 and 40,000km.

Another Bosch spark plug range is the Platinum Plus which surpasses OE specifications with a pure platinum centre electrode.

Combined with a heavy duty tapered, yttrium enhanced ground electrode, this spark plug calls for quicker starts, smoother acceleration and maximum durability.

Advantages of the Platinum Plus include a superior design for reduced electrode temperature and improved access to airfuel mixture as well as a nickel plated housing and threads for complete corrosion protection and extended service life.

The Bosch Platinum Plus is also designed for reliable ignition even with a very cold engine and reduced fuel consumption.

The Bosch Platinum Plus outperforms the current Bosch Platinum with 25 per cent longer service life, and has a lifespan of between 50,000 and 60,000km.

Meanwhile, the Bosch Platinum-Iridium Fusion has uniquely heat fused platinum-Iridium centre electrode for exceptional wear resistance.

The Platinum-Iridium Fusion also comes with revolutionary surface gap firing technology that features multiple spark paths for the most efficient combustion, and delivers powerful sparks for maximum horsepower. It provides ultimate engine performance without increasing voltage requirement.

Surpassing competitor iridium spark plug specifications, the Bosch Platinum-Iridium Fusion provides superior operation at all driving conditions.

It has four yttrium-enhanced ground electrodes for exceptional performance life.

Other advantages include improved cold-start ability for less fuel condensation due to fine centre electrode, a factory pre-set gap for easy installation and zero adjustment requirement, as well as reaching self-cleaning temperature only seconds after starting for improved wear and oxidation resistance.

Designed for optimum horse power, exceptional service life and the highest level of engine protection, the Bosch Platinum-Iridium Fusion has a lifespan of up to 100,000km.

The Bosch Super Plus, Platinum Plus and Platinum-Iridium Fusion carry recommended retail prices of RM47, RM79 and RM179 respectively for each set of four pieces.
