Spark plug OEM Subaru or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Since then I have take good care of it, replaced the brakes on schedule in August 2020 and then in August 2021 new spark plugs.
Pros: replaced brakes, new spark plugs
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
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
My 2002 had a similar issue. In my case it was the spark plugs, $250 fix.
Pros: easy fix
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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
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
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
a spark plug job on an STI can be a 6+ hour job :thumbdown:
Cons: spark plug job difficult
Vehicle:
Subaru
