Bogi cords

[Samurai]

Hi guys,

I would like some advice please. I need to have the bogi cords of my lux replaced. The rubber/silicon is peeling off where the cord goes down to the spark plug (see pic) and the mechanic advised me to get a new set.

What is the best bet, genuine parts or a suitable and reliable aftermarket set? The d(st)ealers are asking R1642 for the set. I asked at Midas, they said the brand name "Bogi?" is good, approx R780 for the set.

Many thanks.

Nothing wrong with Bougi cord.

Stuart... the genuine ones you buy at Toyota will be Bougi cords any case

used the "midas" Bogi Cord a couple of times :)

Bougi-cords are fine, but you must stretch the tips a bit before fitting, i use an opening circlip-pliers to open them just a bit to prevent the tips from seizing onto the spark plugs, this is a problem on all Toyotas with thin HT leads.

Interressant dat jy so sê, Allan. Ek berus my nou al daarby dat elke keer as ek die vrou se Tazz se vonkproppe ruil dat ek een of twee van die cords gaan breek - die proppe sit diep en soos jy sê, die dêm goed seize vas, enigste manier om hul af te kry is om hard te trek, maar jy kan nie grip kry om die onderste deel nie, dan trek die blerrie koppe uit. Laas het ek hul kon afkry met 'n waterpomp tang.... So bietjie geld gespaar, want om elke keer die blerrie goed te vervang met 'n diens raak duur. Sal in die vervolg jou trick probeer.

jip, ook al daai skade oorgekom.


PASOP net vir die tang - maklik om die plugdraad se omhulsel seer te maak, en jy sien dit nie met die oog nie, dan verloor jy spark na die kant ..... was n geneuk voor ek daai een uitgefigure het ....



die Tata Indica het ook daai maargat plugs. laas maand ook n plugdraad verloor ....

I was at a place in JHB today and he quoted me R80 for the Kent ford V6 in my lux complete set will see if has them tomorrow for that I will put old set as spare.Also check where bogi cords are made as in most cases same factory.

You can get solid core lead at Gemini in JHB. They tend not to need replacement as often as carbon or graphite core leads because the inner doesnt crack due to the heat.

I bought a set about 4 years ago at a price of R120 when bougis were R650 or so. I have never had a problem with them.

Hi guys!

I got a new set of Bougi Cords (R465). Now I want to install them. I cannot get to the plug (marked "A") because the pipe (marked "B") is in the way.

How do I move pipe "B", does it just "push" in?

Many thanks

Hi Stuart,

The big pipe that pipe B is connected to is fastened with 2 clamps, loosen them and remove the whole pipe, then you have enough room to remove the plugs. It sounds like more work, but sometimes it's easier and faster to remove some stuff to get to the stuff you really need to work on.

Cheers,

Chris
