Dump those plugs...

If they're related to, or are the Bosch Platinum +4s, they're crap. At least in a Saab they are.
And I wouldn't dream of installing them in a DI car!
Some years back, I was GIVEN a set when I bought a bunch of parts from an indie Saab shop. Put them in my Classic 900 turbo 16v. This car was far less demanding of plugs than any DI car is. I couldn't get to work many days, because the heat from waiting at a toll booth in the engine bay did something to the plugs, and they didn't fire. I chased tha tprobem down by changing wires, coils, etc. Nothing. In desparation, i pulled a set of used 30k mile NGK BCP7EVs from my toolbox, slapped them in the car, and went on happily driving those plugs for ANOTHER 30k.
If the Dealer installed them, I'd go back to them for the right plugs.
