Spark plugs are key components of the ignition system in petrol engines, generating the spark needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders. Efficient spark plugs are essential for the correct operation of the engine, its efficiency and fuel economy. In the Global Parts automotive store you will find a wide selection of used car parts, including spark plugs, perfectly matched to brands such as BMW, Audi , Mercedes, Volkswagen, Mini and others .

What functions do spark plugs perform?

Spark plugs perform many important functions that affect engine performance and operation:

• Ignition of the fuel-air mixture – They generate a spark that ignites the mixture in the cylinders, providing energy to run the engine.
• Improved engine performance – Thanks to precise ignition, they improve combustion efficiency and driving dynamics.
• Reduction of exhaust emissions – Efficient spark plugs ensure complete fuel combustion, reducing the amount of harmful substances in exhaust gases.
• Fuel consumption optimization – Thanks to the even ignition of the mixture, they reduce fuel consumption. Used car parts, such as spark plugs, provide an economical solution to ignition system problems.

Why is it worth taking care of your spark plugs?

Well-maintained spark plugs are essential for efficient operation of a petrol engine. Common problems include:

• Electrode wear – Can lead to weaker spark and uneven engine operation.
• Contamination – Carbon and oil deposits can reduce the effectiveness of candles.
• Ignition Problems – Damaged spark plugs can cause hard starting, engine hesitation, or lack of power.
• Uneven engine operation – Spark plugs in poor condition can lead to misfiring and unstable engine operation. If you need replacement, choose used car parts, which offer high quality and durability.

How to choose the right spark plugs?

• Matching your vehicle model – At Global Parts you will find spark plugs that perfectly fit BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Mini and more .
• Technical condition - Used spark plugs should be free from excessive deposits, mechanical damage and electrode wear.
• Spark Plug Type – Select the appropriate type (e.g. iridium, platinum, copper) according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Technical specifications – Make sure your spark plugs have the correct electrode gap and heat rating for your engine. Car parts, such as spark plugs, must be precisely matched to ensure reliability and performance.

How to care for spark plugs?

• Regular inspection – Check the condition of your spark plugs during inspections, especially if you notice any problems with your engine operation.
• Cleaning Build-Up – Remove built-up debris to improve candle efficiency.
• Avoiding overloads – Ensure that the ignition system parameters are set correctly to prevent excessive spark plug wear.
• Repair or replacement on time - In case of damage, choose car parts, which will restore full functionality of the ignition system.
