I know. They are the wrong heat range per the April 1997 bulletin. We have had 2 people who buy plugs at parts places show up on our work on cars days with the old heat range so parts places still have the old heat range listed. If you search on internet parts places sometimes you will see the correct listing and sometimes the old. If you buy them from Porsche you get the correct heat range, but you will most likely get Beru not Bosch plugs. The plugs listed on PAP are Bosch.

I assume you have a 1999. The Bosch plug for your 2.5 is FR 7 LDC4. The Beru plug is 14 FR 7 LDU. The 7 in both part numbers is the heat range.

The kit also has the drain plug. We reuse the original plug.
