the information I have is .8mm electrode gap
the distance from electrode and wire.
type spark plug: DR8ES-L Electrode gap: 0.6-0.7mm (0.024-0.028in) Tightening torque: 20Nm (2.0m-kg, 14.5ft-lb)
Before you start, just be aware that there are many plugs that you can not adjust the gap on. If these are old plugs, don't try adjusting the gap to account for electrode wear; the metal may be brittle and the outer electrode may break off in your cylinder. if neither of these apply to you, here is how you can check/adjust a spark plugs gap. Slide the tapered gauge into the electrode gap and rotate it until it just fills the gap, but don't force it, read your gap there. If you need to adjust, there is a hole in the tool you can use to bend the outer electrode into position, but do it slowly and carefully. Many auto parts stores sell the plugs pre-gapped for your vehicle. If they don't and the plugs need to be adjusted, they'll probably help you gap them there.
There is no gap. The right plug is flat, with electrode in the center of a ceramic circle.
The standard spark plug gap for a Volkswagen Polo 1.4i is 0.045 inches. The gap represents the space between the tip and the electrode.
The gap will increase during use as metal is lost from the electrode surfaces. Dual platinum or iridium plugs grow their gap much more slowly than the traditional plugs do. The gap can be decreased, in rare cases, if a piston or foreign object in the combustion chamber comes into contact with a plug's side electrode.
If you have no gap meaning the electrodes are touching then the spark plug is being grounded therefore causing a no spark situation. There has to be a gap in order for the electricity to jump from the electrode to the ground.
.044 is the proper plug gap setting.
proper gap is 42-46
The spark plug gap for a Renault Scenic 16v 1.6 2007 model is typically set to 0.9mm or 0.035 inches. It is important to ensure the correct gap is maintained to allow for proper ignition and combustion within the engine cylinders. Using a gapping tool, carefully adjust the electrode distance to the specified gap measurement before installing the spark plugs.
As per page 95 of the owners manual The electrode gap is 0.8 mm (0.032 in)
