Hi,

I have full stock for Enya plugs.. Enya plugs come with platinum coil and can take a lot of load. The thread is silver colour and is made with an alloy composed by Platinum and Rhodium!

Why are plated coils not as good as platinum alloy coils?

Plated coils suffer from very quick degeneration as the plating breaks down under operating conditions. As bits of plating come off, the plug is effectively becoming a hotter and hotter unit until in a comparatively short time it is no longer able to perform its function.

Conversely, a platinum alloy coil will still degenerate, but as it is platinum alloy throughout, the surface remains as platinum alloy and the plug continues giving much the same characteristics for quite a long time.

Plated coils are very poor value when compared to platinum alloy coiled glowplugs.
