Spark plug NGK or OEM BMW
I’ve been running NGK Irridium tips for 30,000km and haven’t had any issues
Go to Parker Performance. Look at the NGK Ruthenium’s.
Yes, they only sell genuine NGK.
Oem oem oem oem dont fuck up your car cheaping out on parts. Especially VQs they don’t perform well or usually don’t even work with aftermarket parts like those considering your plugs or coils. Got with ngk iridium or denso
I have a MK6 GTI and I replaced the Spark Plugs using the NGK recommended ones from Rock Auto and they were the OEM replacements.
I have the projected NGKs and they work great.
I run these on my stage 2 2019. Runs great. Like zero knock. Sometimes idle seems a bit less smooth when engine really hot but tach holds dead steady. Ran a set for 5k, inspected and put back in for another 5k then replaced with a fresh set and have another 2k on the new set.
I use NGK... it's the same 1/16 turn instructions on my Suzuki outboard (also NGK) and I use the same method of 1/4 -1/2 turn. Been good with those over 6 or 7 changes.
Yesterday my new Ariens made its maiden voyage up here in Maine and began misfiring under load. Called the dealer where I bought it and they said it may be the spark plug. Ariens apparently puts cheap Chinese plugs (Torch brand) in their machines. Long story short, new NGK and all is well. Powers through them berms like a pro.
I unknowingly sourced (6) NGK ILZKR7A Spark Plugs a year ago from eBay and installed them at 60K miles on my 3.6 VR6. I found out last week that the plugs were fakes. About a month ago I started getting random misfires. After detailing the issue in this thread here: https://forums.vwvortex.com/showthr...VR6-Cyl-2-Misfire-When-Taking-Off-Quick-From-Stop-Suggestions&highlight=Misfire I pulled the spark plugs and checked them last month and noted the gap was pretty far out of spec (weird for only being a year in), so I gapped them and reinstalled and the problem went a way for a few weeks. Last week I had another misfire, so I chalked it up to a bad batch of spark plugs and resigned to buy and install a new set.
