I changed all sparkplugs now my vw is running great. make it's the correct sparkplugs.
Pros: vw is running great
Vehicle:

And also removed and cleaned my spark plugs. All these collectively seemed to have a great impact on the engine\u2019s performance! The engine runs much smoother and feels a lot more sporty!
Pros: engine runs smoother
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
New plugs and coils went in and the misfire is gone. Sounds healthy too.
Pros: misfire gone, sounds healthy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I did replace the spark plugs at 70k miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 110000 km
Just changed out the original plugs in my 2014 Ed30 GLi at 58K and totally agree with the other observations here. The idling has improved tremendously and the general over all performance of the car is back where it should be.
Pros: idling improved tremendously
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 93342 km
I did track it extensively, probably 3-4,000 km of track use. The only thing it needs is brake fluid and better pads and you're good to go. My car was flawless for the entire time I had it. It threw a CEL right before I sold it that was solved with a simple spark plug change. It never overheated at the track and it was a lot of fun there and very refined and comfortable for highway travel.
Pros: flawless, refined, comfortable
Vehicle:
BMW
Can't beat the 2.5 for hassle free reliability. Economy sucks, though. I have had my 130k mile 2.5 Rabbit since new and I have never averaged more than 25-26mpg in mixed driving, but on the other hand I haven't done much more than oil changes and spark plugs on it.
Pros: hassle free reliability
Cons: economy sucks
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 209215 km
Look out for tensioner. Somewhat large maintenance at 40k intervals. (DSG fluid and filter, haldex fluid). Oil changes every 5-10k. Spark plugs every 40k a good ideal imo as well.
Pros: Spark plugs good ideal
Cons: large maintenance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 40000 km
Today I replaced the spark plugs with new ones PFR7S8EG VW genuine. With new plugs car runs better, but idle still wasn't good enough.
Pros: car runs better
Cons: idle wasn't good enough
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Part number: PFR7S8EG
I have the same problem with my recently acquired 2011 Sharan. Tried a suggestion of new spark plugs with no success.
Pros: tried new spark plugs
Cons: no success
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Sharan
