Reviews
I changed all sparkplugs now my vw is running great. make it's the correct sparkplugs.
Pros: vw is running great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I find that chevies and dodges like autolite or delcos, fords i run motorcraft only, japanese stuff gets ngk's or bosch.
Note that decent spark plugs are hella expensive, but worth it due to lasting a lot longer than cheap $4 Autolite's.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: hella expensive
For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents on plugs and wires. I've read several threads here that indicated something along the lines of, \"YOU'D BETTER D@MN WELL USE NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING BUT OEM BRAND PLUGS AND WIRES!!! THE CAR IS TUNED AT THE FACTORY USING THESE. IF YOU USE ANYTHING ELSE, YOUR CAR WILL RUN LIKE SH@T AND YOUR FUEL ECONOMY WILL BE TERRIBLE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!\" Fast forward to a few months ago when I had a breakdown an hour from home and was trying to figure out the problem. Because I was on the side of the road, I had to Uber it to the nearest parts store and take what they had on offer. If I remember right, the plugs were Autolite and the lightning hoses were Carquest (don't quote me here). No Bosch, no Bremi, etc. I was nervous about it, but hey, the car's 20 years old, so I wasn't worried about squeezing out the MAX performance. Guess what? It runs exactly the same as before and gets the same gas mileage.
Pros: runs exactly the same
I’ve done an oil change as well as swapping the spark plugs and coils for brand new ones. The roughness persists!
Cons: roughness persists
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I purchased some Autolite XP Iridium spark plugs earlier this month and immediately installed them. Within a mile of driving, the car started shaking violently and the check engine light came on. I immediately turned around and reinstalled the old plugs and the problems went away.
Cons: car started shaking violently
Autolite are pure trash maybe suitable for a lawn mower if you like breaking plugs off in heads
Cons: pure trash, breaking plugs
Autolites gotta be the worst fkn plugs on the market rn.
Cons: worst plugs on market
If you used auto lite spark plugs that is almost certain the problem.
Cons: almost certain problem
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I just came across a recent problem while doing my spark plugs at 80,000 miles. The dealership was the one that did my spark plugs at 40,000 miles. Sure enough, they broke Cylinder 3\u2019s wiring harness connector to the coil pack and stripped the bolt. I had to helicoil the bolt, replace the connector, and repin the connector.
Pros: connector replaced, bolt helicoiled
Cons: connector broken, bolt stripped
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 128748 km
