Spark plug Motorcraft or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Oem Motorcraft plugs are always my go-to. They generally last around 80k miles.
Pros: last around 80k miles
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 80000 km
I replaced the spark plugs, ignition coil plugs, alternator and checked the tensioner.
Pros: replaced spark plugs, ignition coil plugs
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
Modern Ford engines tend to work best with Motorcraft or NGK spark plugs.
Pros: works best
Vehicle:
Ford
Motorcraft is all I use , heard to many stories about aftermarket plugs causing misfires
Cons: aftermarket plugs causing misfires
FWIW, I just had spark plugs and coil packs done on my 2016 Jetta, $185 out the door at my local dealership
Pros: reasonable price
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I had a 2012 Passat I drove for 10 years (after buying used with ~20K miles) and only just replaced two weeks ago with ~125k miles. I had to replace the alternator at one point and some other general stuff like spark plugs over the years, but that was it really. Nothing super expensive.
Pros: nothing super expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 125000 km
I do run Motorcraft plugs because they seem to crack a little less than the Autolites.
Pros: less cracking than Autolites
anecdotally, my truck was at 226k when i changed the plugs. motor craft plugs coated, no anti seize, torqued tighter than advised. probably 20lb ft. 2 rear plugs were originals. i’m now at 235k and nothing wrong yet.
Pros: nothing wrong yet
Mileage: 235000 km
I’ve done an oil change as well as swapping the spark plugs and coils for brand new ones. The roughness persists!
Cons: roughness persists
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
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.
Pros: connector replaced, bolt helicoiled
Cons: connector broken, bolt stripped
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 128748 km
