yeah, you have to whip on an oil filter with an anti backflow valve. fram and mobil1 dont have them the dealer part is the best, imho, but bosch will stop the light also.
Pros: bosch stops the light
Cons: fram, mobil1 dont have valve
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
As for the correct plug, I got a set of bosch plugs for it - the part number was the same as the ones I took out, so I am assuming this is the correct plug.
Pros: correct part number
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Plugs have been on for almost 4 days. No problems! Idle and runs smoother! HP feels the same!
Pros: no problems, smoother idle, smoother run
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The part number I have for the Bosch is 4418. There web sire below only goes up to 2000 EV so I don't know if these are the same as the 2001 + EV. I really love these plugs and ran them in my prior Audi A6. Long lasting, great even spark, no gaping. Bosch claims (see web site) increase power. Maybe?
Pros: long lasting, great even spark
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Part number: 4418
i had a bosch 75 amp alternator on my beetle, w/ a huge amp wired up and it was great... never had problems w/ it...
Pros: never had problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
Just get a Bosch rebuilt starter. Others will work, but after 4 brand x's (local rebuilders), I went with Bosch and it's so much better. Strong motor, strong sub-zero cranking, everything's strong now.
Pros: strong motor, strong cranking
I called IPD, a Volvo specialist here in Portland, and they sold me a direct fit, adjustable voltage regulator for my bosch alternator, now i have the voltage output set at 15.5 volts when the car is running, and yes, it helps immensely. no more slightly undercharged batteries.
Pros: helps immensely, good voltage output
Cons: weak output before
Vehicle:
Volvo
I've run the platinum +4s in my GTI and I haven't had any problems but I haven't found them to feel any different than any other plug.
Pros: no problems
Cons: no noticeable difference
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
They don't know how to make a good spark plug.
Cons: don't make good spark plugs
