Over the past several days, I restored/repaired my badly hazed headlights, and replaced the "city lights" with 10000K LEDs.
Both my 2006's have always worked. Dunno.Nice work! I thought on the US market cars the inner lights kn the Ednas were blanks. What did you do to get them to work?
Nice plates!
No way 10hp, they are lighter but not that light.swapped out the cruddy center caps for some carbon look repro's(adds 10hp).
Ha, I meant mileage wise..Usually screw them in hand tight, then another 180˚ with a wrench. Whatever the instruction on the package says.
For me, I just pull them for inspection and regap every 6k miles or so. Oversized gaps cause premature DIC failure so I like to stay on top of them. Plus, you get a peek at how your engine is running internally.Ha, I meant mileage wise..

I would be careful doing that, as every regap puts stress on the end of the plug and it can break off into the cylinder, which can cause much bigger issues than a slightly worn plug....also much bigger bill than a newer set of plugs at a lower mileage intervalFor me, I just pull them for inspection and regap every 6k miles or so.

I change them every 20,000 miles.

I find that the gap doesn't change much in 50,000 km, even on the copper BCPR-6ES plugs. I just installed the PFR plugs and hope to leave them in there for 80k km.....Well, it's very rare that I actually have to adjust the gap. But I always check.
Got the extra key made.The extra key should be a priority. Even if you just get the remote module for the key head, you can program it using your existing key blade. As far as a second key, the remote module in the key head is available here and there used, so all you need to order is a blank key cut to your car. And of course you need a Tech II/CANdi with the proper software to program.
If it's a 9-3, you want either the OG9-3 or the NG9-3 forum....Apparently installing a new suspension after the old one collapsed. If anyone knows of any good prices on 9-3 Aero suspension component's I'm all ears.
