Spark plug AC DELCO or OEM Volkswagen
I paid $42 for the ACDelco iridium plugs, $45 for the ACDelco pro wire set.
GM products run best with AC Delco plugs, just like Ford products run best with Motorcraft or Autolite.
I did put ac delco factory iridium plugs from rockauto on mine at 100k.
Can't beat the 2.5 for hassle free reliability. Economy sucks, though. I have had my 130k mile 2.5 Rabbit since new and I have never averaged more than 25-26mpg in mixed driving, but on the other hand I haven't done much more than oil changes and spark plugs on it.
While I had the coils out, I replaced the plugs (used ACDelco double platinum professional grade, proper gap. No NGKs were available). After I replaced the coils, the misfire code(s) went away for a few days.
Look out for tensioner. Somewhat large maintenance at 40k intervals. (DSG fluid and filter, haldex fluid). Oil changes every 5-10k. Spark plugs every 40k a good ideal imo as well.
use oem plugs for the next 40k, its worth it, part number is 06H-905-601-A
So I went to my uncle who is a part owner of a auto parts supply company and he ordered me 5 Beck Arnley 178-8445 Direct Ignition Coils for my car and 5 ACDelco 41-806 Professional Platinum Spark plugs.
I have a 1986 blazer and replaced the spark plugs with ac delco factory spark plugs purchased from napa, about 2 months later I was driving the vehicle and the vehicle had a miss then starting blowing out oil from the Pcv vlave from excessively high crank case pressure after electrode fell out.
Put them into a stock '87 Subarban and tore my hair out thinking I messed up the wires 'cause it idled so bad. Really, like I had two wires switched. Put the old worn regular AC's that I just took out and it idled perfect.
