Owner reviews for spark plug

I believe BOSCH were the OEM for the spark plugs on these. I went with Copper/Nickel plugs the the originals were Platinum, again I believe, I'm not 100 percent on that. I'm using a shortened maintenance schedule because I use the car for Auto and Rallycross so I'm ok with changing the plugs a bit more often.

I buy the OEM ngks every time. I find cars CAN be picky about what plugs you get.

I picked up a set of new VW Atlas sparkplugs of FB MKTplace locally for a good price and before I tossed them in one of my cars I decided to verify all of the spark plug differences and to reserve the research here are my results:

I have mentioned numerous times here to remove Torch plugs and replace. One would not run fresh out of the box (WEN). Replaced it with an NGK and it's been purring ever since.

If I had a choice between a resistor type NGK plug and a non-resistor Torch, I'd take the NGK in a heartbeat.

I’m working on my 08 GTI FSI and man she loves my paycheck like no tomorrow! But she is the greatest car I’ve ever owned. Congrats you’re going to both hate and love it!!! Check the coil packs! Mine use to misfire all the time. Brought it to three shops before I personally replaced all four and bought nothing but NGK or Bosch plugs.

Laser iridium or ruthenium from ngk

I've used NGK iridium which I've heard is the OEM for the 41-110, but didn't have as good of results.

Don't use AutoLite plugs in this car, they are known to have issues.

Also, Autolite is extra terrible. I would have done anything else.
