Spark plug Bosch or OEM Toyota
Bosch W6DPO. They’ve always been expensive, but now stupidly so. I’m not paying $250 for plugs, either. The DENSO IW20TT you referenced is a perfect replacement because it’s the exact same heat range as the W6DPO.
I bought six OEM spark plugs at the Toyota dealership parts counter and it was $12!
That said, make sure they use quality parts. BMW/Bosch spark plugs and OEM pulleys (and belt) are a must. NGK plugs are cheaper and don\u2019t last as long. Same goes for off-brand belts and pulleys.
Went with Bosh double platinum plugs at 60,000km when I notice a stumble at idle and that's the interval for change. I instantly went from best of 9.6L/100km to 7.8L/100km big difference in performance and smoothness and i prefer a German plug in a German car with Bosch electronics.
I'd stick with the WR6DPO Bosch. Not sure why but they just work with no questions.
Bought a 03 100 series with 241,000 only issue was the number 7 spark plug blew out, had to re-tap it and install a aluminum sleeve, and replace the coil
I'm still not entirely convinced that it is weak or under ignition versus over fueling. Either way it just seems like it's having a hard time burning the fuel that it is getting. I still can't help but wonder about the Bosch Platinum 2s. I have had good luck with them before my Mark 2 GTI and the car did run well with them for a good 10 days before all of this started.
Neither, I’ve seen Bosch plugs fall apart and I wouldn’t trust autolite on my lawnmower.
Installed new Bosch Plugs (WR7DC+), Bosch Distributor Cap, and Rotor. Now the car seems to be having a weird idle sitting as stop lights, and the engine almost shut off while I was backing into the garage. Also she seems like its having a harder time sterting up as well.
definitely avoid Bosch spark plugs. I'm not personally a fan and I've seen plenty fail. Unless they were original in the motor (usually Subarus don't use Bosch), I'd stick with NGK or Denso in my opinion.
