2011 PTT: Where is Spark Plug #7

Installed a VR Tune and just as the car warmed up, spark plug #7 fouled. Can anyone tell me where #7 is?

Hoping that was coincidental as I didn't experience any such issues w/ my VR tune. How many miles/years on the plugs?

Also hope that you really enjoy your VR tune and IPD plenum!

Switched #7 cylinder coil with #5, and the code followed the switch; now I wish I had saved the good coils from the last change. Ordering a new set with plugs.

PM me, or broadcast, if you want to share best & fastest place to order from.

Spark Plugs:
Bosch
FR6NPP332 - OEM gap: 0.031 Q: do theses come gapped to 0.031?

Ignition Coils:
Mfg: Beru
PN: ZSE 042

Is above pats best for PTT engines with IPD Plenum and VR Tune?

Has to be coincidence! Car has 97.5K miles now and the coils were replaced at 63.2K miles. Is 34.3K for coils to last, good or bad?

Mine has 55k on the OEM coils and still running strong. Of course, now that I've said it out loud.....

I believe my coils are also original w/ 75k miles on the car (knock on wood they keep going) - 34k seems to be a premature failure.
