Magnecor's KV85 Competition (8.5mm)Spark Plug Wires feature
Magnecor's exclusive 2.5mm high capacity Metallic Inductance EMI Suppressed conductor consisting of stainless steel
wire precisely wound at 200 turns per inch over a ferrimagnetic core. The insulating jacket is made entirely of
Magnecor's exclusive TC-1500-HS high strength aerospace grade silicone rubber, and its single layer construction will
prolong the jacket's insulating ability by conducting extreme heat away from hot-spots that occur near over-the-limit
heat sources. |
The KV85 Competition (8.5mm)Spark Plug Wires' jacket has a service heat
resistance of 600 degrees F (320 degrees C) and up to 1,000 degrees F (540 degrees C) for short burst 3 minutes.
Even if limits are exceeded, the silicone rubber will retain its insulating ability until wires are removed from engine.
|
Magnecor KV85 Competition (8.5mm)Spark Plug Wires are primarily designed and
constructed to be used in applications where it is essential to prevent the possibility of spark plug wires compromising
engine performance. Modern race engines, modified street engines and stock street engines which rely on electronic
devices to control the function of either or both the ignition and fuel systems are prone to interference from all other
spiral conductor spark plug wires sold through performance parts outlets, none of which can provide proper suppression
for EMI, particularly if a high-output ignition system is used. Magnecor: The perfect choice for your Volkswagen! |
NOTE FOR VW 12 VALVE V6 ENGINES: The factory wire looms on these engines easily accept 7mm cable. The looms can be
modified to fit 8 or 8.5mm cable by filing off the tabs that hold the wires into the loom. |
ALSO NOTE that spark plug wires on V6 engines MUST be fitted to, and removed from, the spark plugs using the
correct Volkswagen tool, otherwise damage to your spark plug wires is likely. Please note that the tool supplied with
new cars is plastic and only lasts a few uses before it becomes unuseable, so an aftermarket metal tool (available from
Volkswagen dealers and tool/parts suppliers) should be used. PLEASE NOTE that even if the correct metal tool is used it
is easy to damage the wires unless care is taken. Our warranty does not cover damage to spark plug wires resulting from
this poor design by Volkswagen. |
