I had a 2012 Passat I drove for 10 years (after buying used with ~20K miles) and only just replaced two weeks ago with ~125k miles. I had to replace the alternator at one point and some other general stuff like spark plugs over the years, but that was it really. Nothing super expensive.
Owner reviews for spark plug
On Rock Auto Denso...Denso double platinum spark plugs for $4.32 each, but I would opt for the NGK Rutheniums for $8.32 each because they last longer and provide better combustion in these older engines
Today I installed new spark plugs and the misfiring situation has improved significantly but is not completely gone. If I pull up the RPM too quickly the misfire counter goes up.
I went with the NGK rutheniums as they're also rated for 100k and were slightly cheaper on Rock Auto than the iridiums. Supposedly they maintain fuel efficiency longer over their life than iridiums
In my 206 classes we run this autolite sparkplug because it’s required.
My understanding is that we switched because people were buying plugs in bulk and looking for ones with the lowest internal resistance believing it would effectively advance the engines timing. Supposedly these autolite plugs are much more consistent.
O drove my Corolla to the point the spark plugs weren't firing and the car wouldn't start. I changed the plugs and it ran great after that.
I use them. Just replaced a set after they'd lasted 90,000 miles, only to rule out a very very tiny misfire count issue I've noticed lately. I might get a coil pack now, but those original plugs surely would have lasted longer (they say they should last for 100k).
I've used Autolite plugs in my stock 2011 for 6 years. I wanted to try NGK's so I recently installed a set of Ruthenium NGK plugs. I haven't noticed any difference between the two brands.
I did buy 3 set ngk iridium from ebay for several vehicles and they are all fake . it misfire and destroy coil too...as soon as took the out the tip of the plugs worn out to the bone...
Bought a set of iridium plugs that were wasted after 15k miles. Amazon gave zero fucks. AC Delco gave zero fucks. The scum bags who sold them changed their name and keep selling.
