The part numbers you listed is Beru for the plug used on the 2.7 and 3.2 986.

The 2.5 1997-1999 uses a different plug. The Beru part number is 14 FR 7 LDU.

So they are selling the 2.5 owners the wrong plug.

Jim posted this below
2.7L - Bosch FGR 6KQC
3.2L - Bosch FGR 7KQC
- Beru 14 FGR 6 KQU
- Beru 14 FGR 7 KQU

It looks like the 2.7L and the 3.2L use different plugs?

No, that is part of the Bently shop manual errors. Page 03-30.

2.7 and 3.2 use the same heat range plug. 6. Bentley has a 7 listed for the 2.7. But for the 3.2 it has listed 6 and 7. The strange thing is for the 3.2 it shows the Beru plug with 2 different heat ranges - figure that one out.

I see that in my Bently. Thanks I think I know the answer to this, but is it a good idea to change the plugs every 4 years regardless of mileage?

Thanks for the pics Dj. Did you put any anti-seize grease on your threads?
