Best place to buy HT leads from... Ibiza 2L 16V

[ibiza_95]

as title, helfords dont sell them, and i cant find them on ECP... tell me theyre not a seat only part cos i cant afford to spend $$$ on then

 

[F2 Ed]

Nevermind halfords, go to Lucas or E&M. LOADS of options out there mate, they arn't just SEAT parts.

Motaquip might be a cheap brand to choose.

Euro car parts... you need the 'right' ones as they're long

jesus....
cheers fella, thats brilliant.... forgot about searching for VW tut
Ill get them on order on monday. I guess iwas looking at all the extra special leads so thanks for that... Got all my filters and fluids today to service the beast... got 12 pounds off from trade price at halfords not bad... just need toget the actual oil, think im going along the lines ofmiller oil, the lecturer at uni cant get enough of it so thought id give it a whirl.
Illgive them a ring and see about the discount, dont ask you dont get eh

when you call - just get them to check the numbers the same for the Ibiza - I think they might be from memory - but the price was the same

 

[ibiza_95]

cool. cheers mate

Beru ones from ECP are still going ok *touches lots of wood* on my car

 

[ibiza_95]

just foned ECP, and they said that the leads are something they dont keep in stock... he struggled to find them on the system even after me telling him i have the part number from a golf 2L 16V
and he said they came to 55 pounds!?
any help on this? cant of gone up by 30 pounds surely thats double

EDIT: Just phoned GSF and they want nearer 60 pounds for them!
Vwspares.co.uk gives me Lead Set 2.0 16v ABF ZEF1148 £36.95

Cant be 20 pounds difference on the same product surely!?

BUT: VWspares.co.uk list the gold ones and the SEAT ones as the same part number
Looking more promising

Cheers mate, just been on there (edited posts above sorry) and ive found them for my car but its the same part number as for the golf mk3... in which case its cheaper and easier to order from Euro Car Parts, as i live only 10 minutes away, and theyre about 8 pounds cheaper.... only thing is, that the guy at ECP couldnt find them on his system to match, but 1 set cant vary between engines if one company lists as the same part number surely!?

but 1 set cant vary between engines if one company lists as the same part number surely!?

Same engine same leads (1.8 16v ibiza/golfy were different tho iirc) and dont call me shirley.

 

[ibiza_95]

Ill stop calling you it then... if i must
so theyre 100% the same leads between the golf mk3 2L 16V ABF 110Kw engine
and the ibiza engine with the same spec........
The part numbers on Vwspares.co.uk would suggest so...

Thanks

 

[cordobabrendy]

the mk3 golf and ibiza/cordoba 2.0 16v shares the same engine code, this means same head,bottom end gear box cover (different ratios but still bolts on ok) so the distributor and plugs are the same distance away so will be an exact swap.

 

[ibiza_95]

Nice one... ill get them on order from ECP and if theyre wrong ill take em back or something.... put them on ebay

 

[ibiza_95]

Got them... cheers fella.
After al that they told me about them not fitting i took your words for it and went to buy them. He let me compare the two and they are identical.... or at least i thought so so i got them

Much appreciation. Saved me plenty of $$$
