Ignition specialist Niterra UK Ltd is continuing to expand its range with new additions covering popular vehicles from 15 vehicle manufacturers. Home to the NGK brand, Niterra has added to its spark plug, glow plug, and ignition coils ranges with a series of launches in September and October. 

The new-to-range collections represent a considerable service opportunity for workshops embarking on critical winter servicing and those wanting to capture new customers with first to market application coverage. 

The demand for iridium spark plugs has been steadily increasing thanks to their quality, durability, and tangible in-vehicle performance benefits. Three new iridium spark plug part numbers have been introduced to provide the benefits of precious metal technology for popular vehicle models from Peugeot, Citroen, Kia and more.

Iridium spark plug ILZKBR8D7G fits the Peugeot 308 1.6 PureTech 225, Hybrid 180, 225, (2018 on) and 408 Hybrid 180, 225, (2023 on. This also fits the Opel Astra L 1.6 plug-in hybrid (2021 on) and 1.6 Grandland X including the plug-in hybrid and turbo (2019 to 2022).  

Precious metal spark plug ILZKR7G7G fits the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio, 02/2017 on  and 04/2017 on, respectively. Meanwhile iridium spark plug SILZKR8E8G fits 1.6 Hyundai i30, Kona and Tucson models, plus Kia Cee’d, Pro Cee’d, Soul, Sportage and Xcee’d models, so is sure to be in big demand in Ireland. .

A new glow plug has also been added for key BMW and MINI models fitted with 2.0 and 3.0 litre diesel engine variants, which equips workshops with the perfect winter service solution for many popular models. Part number CZ581 is a ceramic type which has the ability to withstand fast heating times and achieve exceptionally high temperatures.

It fits a variety of BMW models including the 1 Series F20, F21 (2011-2020) 118d, 120d and 125d (2014 to 2019), and 3 Series F30, F31 and F34 (2011-2020), 316d, 318d and 320d (2015 to 2019), X3 G01 (2017 on), xDrive 20d, xDrive 30d, M40d and MHT (2017 to 2019), and 2.0-litre MINI Clubman, Cooper and Countryman models. 

Additionally, the NGK ignition coils range has been boosted by the introduction of eight new part numbers which meet or exceed VMs specifications. These include part number U5423 pencil coil for 1.5-litre Ford models including the C-Max, Kuga, Foacus and Mondeo and U5374 pencil coil for the 1.4 Opel Astra K and 1.0 Viva (2015-2018).

Becca Knight, Niterra UK Marketing Manager, said, “These launches are an exciting opportunity for workshops to fit the latest in precious metal technology, service the most popular models, and welcome electric vehicles into the workshop with hybrid model coverage. As the one-stop shop for ignition parts, workshops can rest assured these new parts provide the reliability and OE-quality performance workshops have come to expect from NGK products.”

Workshops can easily find these new part numbers and their specific make, model, production year, and engine application information on the Part Finder electronic catalogue on the Niterra website, or in MAM or TecDoc cataloguing.
