Spark plug Bosch or OEM Volkswagen
If you change the plugs; use the recommended plugs. I used Bosch Double Iridiums in my truck and they've worked good for 4 years now.
I just picked up 6 Bosch dual electrode double iridium spark plugs from autozone near me and threw them in. Fires great!
I used the gimmicky Bosch Platinum 4+ plugs which solved that problem (no more CELs) but sometimes idle is still a bit rough.
I got a sp series cold air intake and ecs performance ignition coils with bosch spark plugs. I once ran this car with 3 spark plugs for to much time and almost no oil at one point too.
I couldn’t use any other spark plugs I had to use those or my car would run like crap.
I also added bosch sparkplugs 4 months ago, and also have some stuttering.
I don't say for 100% sure but my understanding is that Bosch and NGK are the ones you should use
I’ve had almost all of them destroy themselves recently.
A few months ago i had a intermittent misfire appear and went to investigate it but when I popped the hood while it was running, the wire on cyl 3 was literally popping and sucking itself in and out with the spark plug core still on. I took the plug out and the ceramic was moving in and out from the threaded bit. So it was gapping and slamming itself together while running.
I changed the one spark plug cause I had a spare ngk, I forgot about changing the rest and now I have a new misfire….. I can now feel the tick from combustion going thru the wires on cyl 1 and 4. So now 2 spark plugs are starting to do the same thing. I will be changing to ngk plugs now and won’t be touching Bosch.
The factory spark plugs are honestly shit in terms of longevity.
I replaced mine with Bosch once, it drove like shit and I immediately replaced them with NGK.
