As for the spark plugs, both Bosch Iridium and NGK Laser Iridiums are fine, arguably even better than OEM (which are made by Denso, btw).
I have a stack of 25+ index cards filled with notes about the care and service of the car. The factory service manual has notes and highlighted areas all over it.
Replaced spark plugs with genuine VW Bosch units
Belated follow up. I replaced the plug at the distributer as the signal from the hall sender was intermittent. Brand new Bosch plugs were had for cheap.
So I grab a new ignition coil, and a full set (4) of spark plugs. The Pre-gapped BOSCH Iridium plugs were the same price as OEM platinum, so I figured that's fine for me.
After pulling the plugs, Cylinder 1 plug was definitely eroded. The other 3 plugs looked fine, but I might as well replace the lot. The new Ignition Coil went into Cylinder 1 as well, and I started it up.
Check engine light went off, starts up fine, drives fine, idles fine.
Yeah, I'd rather use some cheap BOSCH SUPERS or other $2 copper plug than any Autolite.
i changed the original NGK spark plug with new Bosch super 4 spark plugs. a nice improvement but still far from old good performance.
God knows they can only be as bad as the Bosch plat +4's, Man those are terrible in basically everything I've put them in... good luck!
Had bad bosh plugs before.
Never had a issue with OEM ac-delco or Ford plugs/parts.
Bosch is making crappy plugs these days.
