While I had the coils out, I replaced the plugs (used ACDelco double platinum professional grade, proper gap. No NGKs were available). After I replaced the coils, the misfire code(s) went away for a few days.
Best Spark plug for Volkswagen Passat
PFR6Q was equivalent to the stock Bosch plugs. They work fine.
In my B3 Vr6, about 3yrs ago, I swapout the NgKs to Bosch Fusion 4-prones and my mileage went from 17 or so to 32mpgs. My car responded better and better mileage.
the car seems to run really good at the .028 with the bosch plugs
within the past six months, off the top of my head, i had the following done at tyrolsport : timing belt water pump thermostat oil cooler and housing all new coolant hoses.. thats right.. i did it just cause.. i have the reciepts. valve cover gasket cam tensioner gasket ngk pfr6q's see where this is going?
When it was time for my 80K service I used Bosch FR7HPP222 plugs gapped at .040. The current owner is now at 110K and the car is running great.
Turns out the AutoLite plugs that a local parts store sold me are crap for this engine (actually caused misfires) so I went and got Denso double platinum plugs the next day and put those in.
I ran them for awhile in my Passat VR6.They did decent.Burned really well actually. I think when I was running them I only got about 23 MPG.
this summer I switched from oem to platinum bosch plugs and just recently took to dealer and had plugs changed as they said the platinum plugs in fsi engine will cause some fuel to not burn properly.
I just put Bosch Copper plugs in my 2.0 L Passat and it's running like crap. I think I forgot to gap a couple of the plugs... Would that explain the rough running engine?
