Spark plug Bosch or OEM Volkswagen
Avoid the NGK’s Bosch or “Volvo” (also Bosch) plugs are way better than the NGK’s.
I had good luck with ngk bp6hs, Bosch w8Bc, champion l87yc and renault oem short thread (yes, really.) plugs. Bosch w8ac used to be good but i had some arrive not working out of the box recently so I'm now avoiding them.
the spark plug is less than 10k km old (bosch) so I initially did not change it. Decided to change it anyway to original mercedes (turns out made my NGK) bam emission passed, LTFT now hovers at 5-8%.
I've changed my spark plugs three times, always with the Bosch Iridium, never had any problems. Pre-gapped, takes me about 30 minutes from start to finish. Lasts me about 90,000 miles.
I put a new battery in it. Because it needed one but then I changed the spark blood wires and it now acts like a brand new car, so go to your spark plugs first.
I went with OE ignition coils and bosch spark plugs and the misfire went away for a couple days but came back on my drive to school.
I have used NKG FOR THE PAST 6 years on the car , no issues at all. Recently replaced them with Bosch OEM spark plugs , it’s same shit , no difference.
My 2000 with California emissions (regular cat and then two pre-Cats at the exhaust headers) would only run properly with the oem spec NGKs. Threw Bosch in their once and it ran terribly.
I just came across a recent problem while doing my spark plugs at 80,000 miles. The dealership was the one that did my spark plugs at 40,000 miles. Sure enough, they broke Cylinder 3\u2019s wiring harness connector to the coil pack and stripped the bolt. I had to helicoil the bolt, replace the connector, and repin the connector.
Ever since Bosch moved spark plug production to Russia, the quality has been sketchy.
