I've had my 2006 Audi a3 3.2 quattro dsg for 5 years now, and every year or so I will have an issue with a misfire on cylinder 6. It is always cylinder 6. I use the recommended NKG IZKR7B(7563) plugs. I often find that the cylinder 6 plug has a crack on the ceramic insulator around the electrode. On one of the plugs, half of the insulator is missing. Replacing the plug always fixes the misfire. I also noticed most recently when I removed the damaged plug, it was very hard to turn and some of the aluminum from the head has fused to the threads, leading me to believe that the cylinder is getting too hot.
After I was done installing the new plugs and coils, I started the car and immediately noticed how much smoother the idle was. I then went for a drive and was really impressed by how much smoother and consistent the power delivery was overall, not to mention the graciously absent misfire under load.
Did this last night without any issues. The coils were in there tight but a warm engine and some tough talking got them out. I went with NGK Iridiums and the car seems to drive smoother - other than that, all is good at 60K.
Ngk Platinum all day
same everything but using a C2 Motorsport Stage 1+ tune. rippin!!
I run a cooler NGK plug in my boost increased and tuned ZR1 making 730 horsepower. They have been flawless and lead the market in the LS world also.
Today I ordered from VW TPS : - Quantum 5w 40 FS Oil & Filter - Oil Dipstick Tube - Fuel Filter - Pollen Filter - Brake Booster Pipe (Vacuum) (Pictured Below) - Interior Alarm Sensor Switch Have also ordered NGK Iridium plugs from Awesome GTI
As for the plugs, I bought [these NGK plugs]
NGK spark plugs are fine.
Been running NGKs in Sportsters forever with no issues. Good plug.
