BERU by DRiV spark plug (Z247) fires the air-fuel charge with a precisely controlled spark at the correct electrode gap and heat range for your engine's combustion chamber geometry. Plug parameters — Electrode Gap [mm]: 0, Stainless Steel mm, Connector type: SAE, Thread Size: M14x1, 25, Spanner Size: 16 mm — determine ignition timing accuracy, electrode longevity, and resistance to pre-ignition deposits across the full RPM range. Thread reach, seat type, and hex size are specified to fit AUTOBIANCHI, CHEVROLET, CITROËN, DAEWOO and 8 other makes cylinder heads without re-gapping or thread chasing. Replaces OE ignition references: 0 242 235 894, K20PR-U, K20TT, OE005/T10. BERU by DRiV ignition components are manufactured to SAE and DIN specifications and are approved for use in vehicles covered by manufacturer service agreements throughout Europe. Standard copper-core spark plugs last around 20,000–30,000 miles, while iridium or platinum-tipped plugs can last 60,000–100,000 miles — always follow the interval specified in your vehicle's service schedule. Symptoms of worn spark plugs include rough idling, engine misfires (often felt as a stumble under acceleration), increased fuel consumption, and difficulty starting in cold weather. Spark plug replacement is a straightforward DIY job on most engines — you need a spark plug socket, a torque wrench, and a gap gauge; allow 30–60 minutes for a four-cylinder engine, longer for boxer or V-configurations where access is tighter. Always match the heat range and electrode material specified by your engine manufacturer — fitting a plug with the wrong heat range can cause pre-ignition, fouling, or catalytic converter damage. Replacing spark plugs on schedule maintains optimal combustion efficiency, reduces harmful emissions, and prevents unburnt fuel from damaging the catalytic converter — a component that costs many times more to replace.
