Spark plug Bosch or Champion
The bosch plugs can be found at autozone or O'Reilly's for about 18 bucks each. Cant recall the exact spec, but vw uses the Bosch plugs stock, so its a direct oe swap.
Replace the spark plug with a Bosch. See if it will start and run.
I have a shelf of new parts for a bunch of my VW’s. All the cap and rotor parts I can find are the same for either car. They’re brand new. The plugs are brand new as well. Gapped by the Bentley. The plugs were “black” from trying to fire but not.
I purchased from a local auto parts store for my 07 E550 and SO's 05 E55 - stealership quoted around $1k, parts for each with Bosch Iridium plugs was about $125. Installed new plugs at around 70k for the E550 and OE plugs (also Bosch) looked clean and the gaps were spot-on
I had those on my 2017 civic 1.5t sedan that I had some performance mods done to and they worked great
The Neuspeed chips don't perform well at all, and the 2.0's do best with BOSCH FR8DS's.
Just got a Jetta again - 2010 Limited Edition just shy of 100K miles and I've got one problem with it. From a cold start, usually in the morning, the 1st 10-15 seconds run rough before settling down to idle.
Side note, Champion spark plugs suck. Use them in lawn mowers.
when I worked for a Chevy dealer we hated Bosch plugs. Chevy's just don't seem to like them, they were often the culprit in misfire diagnosis.
Champion is shit for cars. Leave it for mowers and weed eaters.
