Seeing how the dealer's prices are always higher, I'll be replacing the stock plugs with a set of the NGK's. Ive always run them in my 1.8T, and now my 2.0L 16v... and again... will be picking up some for the 2.0T FSI.
i had bosch and just switched to NGK BKR7EIX. theres a difference!!!
I am planning on ordering a set of NGK BKR7EIX. They are one heat range colder, and I keep hearing good reviews. I also hear the downside is you have to replace them more often. I think if you search for them, you'll find better reviews from ppl who use them and diy if needed. I found them here http://www.sparkplugs.com/resu...&y=17 , might be cheaper elsewhere, I haven't started shopping yet, im just coming up on 10,000 miles.
the plugs are autolite platinums AP3924. the wires are the blue ignitors from techtonics. the rest of the ignition is stock. do i regap the plugs, or should i leave them where they are now. i'm leaning towards leave them since it ran fine before and i don't want to deal with a no start issue when i start it or the first time with the new cam.

My mkV GTI came with Bosch plugs stock. I am now using a set of NGK BKR7EIX plugs (which by the way come pre-gapped...)
Turns out the AutoLite plugs that a local parts store sold me are crap for this engine (actually caused misfires) so I went and got Denso double platinum plugs the next day and put those in.
I have ran BKR8EIX and i noticed no diff switching to bkr7e.
STAY AWAY FROM CHAMPION SPARK PLUGS they tend to have a insulator cracking problem
Me and another both ran BKR6E coppers for a week until the misfires threw a CEL. Logging the misfire counter, I was constantly getting misifres @ idle. I don't think copper is appropiate at all.
