About the Bosch Nickel Spark Plug Line
The Bosch Nickel product line focuses on spark plugs featuring nickel alloy electrodes, providing a balance of durability and cost-effectiveness. The Nickel 7407 spark plug incorporates nickel and copper in the center electrode core, enhancing conductivity and wear resistance. This line is tailored for vehicles requiring reliable secondary ignition components without the need for precious metal electrodes.
Technical Details and Performance
The Bosch 7407 spark plug offers a resistance of 6000 ohms, which helps suppress electrical noise and ensures stable ignition. Its multiple ground electrode tips and configuration improve spark exposure, contributing to more complete combustion. The flat seat design and 19 mm reach ensure proper fitment and sealing in the combustion chamber. The ceramic insulator is non-projected, providing excellent heat insulation and durability under high-temperature conditions. With a heat range of 7, this spark plug is suited for the thermal requirements of the Mercedes-Benz C230 and SLK230 engines.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Compatible with Mercedes-Benz C230 and SLK230 models requiring secondary ignition spark plugs
- Addresses misfires caused by worn or faulty spark plugs
- Helps improve engine starting reliability and smooth idling
- Reduces ignition system electrical interference due to built-in resistor
- Supports consistent combustion for better fuel efficiency and emissions control
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Bosch Nickel 7407 spark plug, ensure the pre-gap size of 1 mm is maintained for optimal ignition performance. Use a 16 mm socket wrench to tighten the spark plug to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. The flat seat design requires proper seating to avoid compression leaks. It is recommended to replace all spark plugs simultaneously to maintain balanced engine operation in Mercedes-Benz C230 and SLK230 vehicles.
