The heavy-duty yttrium-enhanced nickel center electrode with copper core is intended to provide durable service in engines that use a conventional 4-cycle plug design. The Bosch 79168 is a practical choice for older Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Rabbit, and Volvo 242 applications where the catalog calls for a nickel replacement plug with a 0.028 in gap note in fitment data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Bosch Nickel spark plug line is aimed at drivers and technicians maintaining legacy vehicles that need a direct-style replacement rather than a specialty performance plug.
