Spark plug AC DELCO or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Spark plug

If you’re buying a used VW. This is the easiest one (Polo) to maintain.

1. Figure their parts change and maintenance schedules and follow. Check oil cap for oil type to use (15-20k is fine).

2. Always check oil hoses, rubber seals and gaskets (40-70k).

3. Change engine bushings (100k), chassis bushings (50k), transmission bushings (100k) for first time used buyer.

4. Check condition of all parts above before change, also include spark plugs. Stick to German OEM plugs (50k).

Vehicle: Volkswagen Polo

AC DELCO Spark plug

Standard replacement CR43TS Delco plugs, and a decent brand of wires. Bosch makes nice wires. Our engines don't exactly tax the ignition system, so if it's functional, you don't stand to gain much.

Pros: functional ignition system
Cons: no performance gain
Part number: CR43TS

OEM Volkswagen Spark plug

I just came across a recent problem while doing my spark plugs at 80,000 miles. The dealership was the one that did my spark plugs at 40,000 miles. Sure enough, they broke Cylinder 3\u2019s wiring harness connector to the coil pack and stripped the bolt. I had to helicoil the bolt, replace the connector, and repin the connector.

Pros: connector replaced, bolt helicoiled
Cons: connector broken, bolt stripped
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 128748 km
