vs
Spark plug Autolite or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
It was time to change the plugs so I went for one range colder (from Autolite 3923 to 3922). Before I installed these plugs, the power would drop off dramatically above 5500 in 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Now it is a much more progressive decline. The car actually maintains that pushed back in the seat feeling in the upper revs now.
Pros: progressive power decline
Cons: power drop off dramatically
Part number: 3922
The cheapo Autolite 3923 works very, very well. Works well with chipped and K04 cars also.
Pros: works very well, good for modified cars
Part number: 3923
i run autolite 63 (gap to 24 thousandths) on my stage 4 for 500 miles with nitrous, they look perfect. 99 cents each. to each his own.
Pros: look perfect, work great
Mileage: 800 km
Part number: 63
It has been satisfactorily argued that the inexpensive Autolites work as well as the expensive Iridiums, with the understanding that the Autolites must be changed more often.
Pros: work as well
Cons: changed more often
I have autolites, they work well, but the car became jerky at part throttle when gapped at .024, runs better when opened wider for some reason.
Pros: work well
Cons: car became jerky
I didn't know any better and used ****ty autolite spark plugs, and everything was fine and the misfires went away... A few days ago I noticed on quick acceleration and around 4-5k RPM's, the engine loses power, accelerates slower than...well, slower than a 2.0 normally is.
Cons: engine loses power, accelerates slower
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The autolite is a cheap plug, not what is recommended to be used.
Cons: cheap plug, not recommended
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Don't put autolite (autocrap) in your car, they're junk.
Cons: poor quality
I've gotten autolites a few times for some domestic cars and they've been 0.005\" - 0.010\" off seemingly across the board, compared to what the box said they should be. And I wasted a day hunting down a misfire that turned out to be a bad spark plug out of the box.
Cons: incorrect gap, bad plug out of box, misfire
Don't go with Autolite XP iridium. I had on my Jetta and one of the tips basically melted after 25k. They suck.
Cons: tips melted, poor quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 25000 km
