Hi there,

I was just wondering if someone could tell me if the ford motorcraft AGPS 071C spark plug would be ideal/fit the focus 2.0ltr 16v black top engine ????.

Thanks in advance for your help

personally i used ngk platinums. used them on all my zetec engined cars for years, never had a problem and i feel they're perfect for the zetec e's

The main reason for the question is i have loads of them lying around for my rs turbo so wondered if they would fit the zetec also as the focus is in for a service and mot tomorrow.

cant you wip a plug out of the focus and size them up next to each other?

mk6 escort with 1.6 silvertop zetec e
focus with black top 1.8 zetec c
current focus with black top 2l zetec e

non of the poxy little se's

though the 1.8 was my mums car i learnt to drive on and got to use for 2 years efore the escort so techinically not mine.

do all my own maintenance. only used the garage for lower arms on the escort as they were a bastard and the anual mot's. not bad considering all i have are hand tools and a gravel drive

currently ding a few jobs on the 2l while its off the road.

My recommendation is to stick with Ford plugs, have seen plenty of zetecs that don't run all that well with aftermarket plugs. And ford plugs are cheaper than anything that you could buy from halfords etc either.

As for weather those plugs would fit, turbocharged cars run a smaller gap, so they would probably need regapping. I'd compare them to what comes out, check that thread pitch etc is the same.

The temperature range of a N/A plug is completely different to a plug designed for a turbo engine so they are not interchangable. The turbo plugs run colder so your will foul plugs quickly as they will not selfclean
