Spark Plug Gap Size of Mondeo 1.6

Hi There

I've got a Mk4 Mondeo 1.6 Duratec and I'm struggling to find the correct spark plug gap size for it.

Does anyone know what it is

Cheers

Give your reg to a motor factors and they will give you the correct spark plugs with the correct gaps ready to drop straight in, no need for adjustment.

I bought the plugs online as part of a service kit.
Think I'm going to have to call a Ford Dealer, thanks for the reply

If it was a service kit for your car then you don't need to adjust the gap, very rare anybody adjusts spark plug gaps these days.

Plug gaps these days are usually very large due to improved ignition systems. You'll probably find the information in a haynes manual. it wouldn't surprise me if the gap was .040 or more.
