i;ve ran bosch plat 2 prongs for 2 yrs no problems! once I got my arcing wires sorted...
For the stock heads, I recommend the good ol W8AC (Bosch Copper)
i put a heatrange colder (bosch FR6 because i can't get the ngk's local) in my bro's chipped 337 and it ran a lot smoother
I have used the Bosch Platinum +4's and I like them..... A bit pricey though.
i had a buddy purchase me a set of bosch platinum plugs. i installed the plugs this morning before going to work, removing the old plugs, i found the number 1 and number 2 are wet with fuel. after installing the platinum plugs, i cranked the engine. and it started! the idle was smooth. i took my vw to work today, and the engine pulled smoothly in all rpms!
Plugs have been on for almost 4 days. No problems! Idle and runs smoother! HP feels the same!
The part number I have for the Bosch is 4418. There web sire below only goes up to 2000 EV so I don't know if these are the same as the 2001 + EV. I really love these plugs and ran them in my prior Audi A6. Long lasting, great even spark, no gaping. Bosch claims (see web site) increase power. Maybe?
I got W7DC spark plugs from the local foreign parts place...performance hasn't been ideal, and I've already looked at some of the other common issues; I'm considering new plugs in part due to fouling (bad CTS, drove with a failed CTS for too long, lots of carbon on the plugs...cleaned them up some, but I'm not convinced they're OK).
I just put Bosch Copper plugs in my 2.0 L Passat and it's running like crap. I think I forgot to gap a couple of the plugs... Would that explain the rough running engine?
i have never heard a good thing about the Plus 4's, lots of the VR6 people stay away from them. one of my VR6 buddies had some that were trashed in a short period, nothing wrong with his car just the VR didn't like the plugs. i have had them in my Frontier and pulled them out after about 10k miles they looked ok but truck didn't like them. yes they were gapped correctly, went back with the NGK's that were OEM and truck ran better. better how? smoother, no hesitation and all i did was change plugs back and forth. nothing else was done to the truck. i know this post is vague but i don't have any techie stuff to back it up, what i am baseing this post on is experience with my Nissan and witnessing what my buddy had happen. yes the plus 4's have a lifetime warranty and are not that pricey, but i'll bet you won't notice any gain on mileage or performance, unless your current plugs are way past their prime.
