Product Information
Replacement spark plug tube with new o-rings.
This spark plug tube is engineered as a direct replacement for the original Porsche spark plug tube. It provides a sealed, precision-fit channel through the cylinder head for the spark plug, preventing coolant ingress while supporting proper plug alignment and ignition performance.
Sold individually, 6 required per engine.

Fits:
Porsche 986 Boxster / Boxster S 1997 - 2002
Porsche 996 C2 / C4 3.4L 1998 - 2001

Diagram ref no 27, 28 and 29.

The spark plug tube provides a protective and sealed passage for the spark plug through the cylinder head. It:
• Supports and protects the spark plug from contamination by engine coolant
• Prevents coolant intrusion into the spark plug well
• Maintains electrical insulation and correct plug orientation
• Helps preserve consistent ignition performance and combustion integrity

Spark plug tubes are subjected to age, heat, coolant chemicals, and vibration. Over time the tube can stiffen, crack, or lose sealing effectiveness, allowing coolant to seep into the plug well. This often leads to misfires, poor starting, coil damage, or electrical shorts, and is a common service item on aging Porsche M96 engines. Replacing compromised tubes with a high-quality OE Match spark plug tube restores the correct seal and prevents expensive ignition coil or wiring damage, especially during engine rebuilds, head gasket services, or preventative maintenance.

When to replace:
•  During cylinder head removal or service
•  Evidence of coolant in spark plug wells
•  Misfires or ignition issues traced to moisture/coolant
•  Cracked, brittle, or deteriorated tube material
•  Preventive refresh on high-mile engines

Spark Plug, 14FR 7 LDU.
The Porsche Genuine OE Spark Plug is a factory-specified ignition component built to Porsche’s exact original equipment standards. This OE spark plug (often designated as 14FR7LDU / FR7LDC+) is designed to deliver the precise spark characteristics required by the 2.5-litre flat-six M96.20 engine in early Boxster 986 models.
Sold individually, 6 spark plugs required per engine.

Fits:
Porsche Boxster 986 2.5L 1997 - 1999

Spark plugs are a vital part of the ignition system - they produce the high-voltage electrical spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture inside the engine’s combustion chamber. A properly specified and fitted spark plug ensures efficient combustion, smooth engine running, and reliable start-up.

Functions & Technical Role
•  Ignition source: Generates the spark needed for each cylinder to fire properly.
•  Efficient combustion: Promotes complete fuel burn for better power delivery and economy.
•  Idle stability: Helps reduce misfire, rough idle, and hesitation.
•  Correct OE heat range & gap: Engineered to Porsche’s original specification for the Boxster 986 2.5L engine.
•  Durable construction: Long-lasting performance suited to normal service intervals.

Spark plugs naturally wear down due to heat cycling, electrode erosion, and combustion deposits, which can lead to misfires, rough idle, reduced power, and poorer fuel economy. Replacing them with Genuine Porsche OE spark plugs restores correct gap, heat range, and spark characteristics - helping preserve performance, efficiency, and engine responsiveness.

When to replace spark plugs:
•  At manufacturer-recommended service intervals (typically at major services)
•  During routine engine tune-ups
•  If experiencing misfires, rough idle, or loss of power
•  When starting becomes inconsistent
•  If fuel economy decreases significantly
•  During engine diagnostics or rebuild work

Porsche Boxster 986 2.5L 1997 - 1999

Spark plugs are essential to engine performance - they produce the electrical spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. A properly specified and well-maintained spark plug helps sustain efficient combustion, optimize fuel economy, and prevent rough idling or misfires. Worn or incorrect plugs can lead to power loss, higher emissions, and reduced drivability.

Manufactured by BERU, a trusted supplier of ignition technology, this spark plug is built with precise heat range and electrode design suited to the Boxster’s engine requirements. Its durable construction resists fouling and wear, delivering consistent spark performance under daily driving and spirited conditions alike. Supplied as an individual unit, you can order the exact quantity needed for maintenance or service.

•  Generates a controlled spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture
•  Supports smooth combustion, steady idle, and responsive performance
•  Helps maintain fuel efficiency and reliable starting

Spark plugs are vital to reliable ignition and efficient combustion. As they wear, spark quality deteriorates, which can lead to misfires, rough running, reduced performance, and increased fuel consumption. Replacing spark plugs at the correct interval helps maintain smooth engine operation, protects the ignition system, and ensures consistent drivability.

When spark plugs should be replaced:
•  At the manufacturer’s recommended service interval
•  If the engine misfires or runs unevenly
•  When cold starting becomes difficult
•  If fuel economy or throttle response declines
•  When plugs show signs of wear, fouling, or corrosion
•  During major servicing or preventative maintenance
