Spark plug Autolite or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
FWIW, I just had spark plugs and coil packs done on my 2016 Jetta, $185 out the door at my local dealership
Pros: reasonable price
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I had a 2012 Passat I drove for 10 years (after buying used with ~20K miles) and only just replaced two weeks ago with ~125k miles. I had to replace the alternator at one point and some other general stuff like spark plugs over the years, but that was it really. Nothing super expensive.
Pros: nothing super expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 125000 km
In my 206 classes we run this autolite sparkplug because it’s required.
My understanding is that we switched because people were buying plugs in bulk and looking for ones with the lowest internal resistance believing it would effectively advance the engines timing. Supposedly these autolite plugs are much more consistent.
Pros: more consistent
If you care more about performance, or cheaper cost, get the autolite a103, or ar103. Those will give you the best performance, but they only last like 10k. But they’re also dirt cheap.
Pros: best performance, dirt cheap
Cons: short lifespan
Mileage: 10000 km
Part number: A103
I have autolite xp in the van. $100 for 6 ngk, $90 for denso with a van with 250k miles. Everyone says there crap, but it runs great.
Pros: runs great
Cons: everyone says there crap
Mileage: 250000 km
after changing the spark plug for another autolite it stopped misfiring its still a little rough so I fear it may comeback so I just ordered some NGK plugs.
Pros: stopped misfiring
Cons: still a little rough
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Make sure if you purchase spark plugs that it is not Auto Light. They tend to mess your vehicle up more and not work well with Toyotas.
Cons: mess up vehicle, not work well
The factory spark plugs are honestly shit in terms of longevity.
Cons: poor longevity
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Don't use AutoLite plugs in this car, they are known to have issues.
Cons: known to have issues
Also, Autolite is extra terrible. I would have done anything else.
Cons: extra terrible
