So I've been reading through all the posts about spark plugs and still confused. What is the right type for my 1.7? My owners manual says to use Bosch W175 T2 so I was wondering what the modern equivalent is? My car has W8CC and the ones I bought from Pelican are WR7CC which sounds like a hotter plug with a resistor?
