Spark plug NGK or Autolite
I use these in my IE stage 1 MK7. I replace them every 20k, zero issues so far. They could probably go another 10k miles, too, I just replace them early to avoid the ground strap issue that seems to be prevalent.
When I order NGK spark plugs, I get NGK spark plugs, not some copy.
The AC Delco Iridium are fine failing that anything NGK the NGK ruthenium work well. Or the NGK Iridium
I replaced all spark plugs with Genuine Audi NGK plugs and replaced all Ignition Coils as well.
After changing: Idles better and more consistent at 700~800 rpm range. Car drives smoother? Changing spark plugs made it visibly better.
NGKs are my go to’s
I've run Denso and NGK on E85 for 10k+ miles and numerous track days, with zero issues.
Also check the spark plugs, sometimes people are cheap and buy autolites instead of NGK. Cheap plugs from previous owner give me a headache.
I own an Audi Q5 that takes the iridium plugs. I put the standard NGKs instead and they wore out within 10,000 miles.
I got 2 cheap sets of these online for a Honda idsi engine (8 iridium plugs required) they turned out to be fake and were burned out in 6 weeks causing it to misfire badly.
