Premature Spark Plug failure in my Wagon R (Only 7,200 kms) I bought my wagonR duo during Oct2009.Run just 7200 K.M. Three days back while driving on LPG mode, the car started knocking and strange knock was heard under the hood. Car stopped. Next thing was that I could not even get the car started on LPG mode. Right on ignition it started knocking and stalling. Thuds were heard under the hood. When started in Petrol mode, the car started nicely and I could drive smoothly.
I went to the ABT Maruti service centre. The service adviser arranged for the check. All the 4 spark plugs were changed and engine tuned (it is detailed so in the bill). The car is rid of the knocking now. Runs smooth on LPG mode since the change.
Should all spark plugs require change in 1 1/2 years having just run 700K.M. under the circumstances explained? Can the removed plugs be used for emergencies?
Service adviser explained that one of the plugs was damaged. Not finding the correct one they have changed all! Some senior members of Team-BHP owning wagonR can throw light on my query, please.
