Spark plug AC DELCO or OEM Volkswagen

I just replaced my spark plugs on my 2012 1.4T with the ACDelco 41-121 ones.

Ive tried other plugs that are oem spec but not from VW and I like the way the oem plugs work better.

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).

Use only AC DELCO ignition components for GM vehicles, and that includes spark plugs. The factory plugs work perfectly.

AC Delco CR43TS.

Copper plugs are actually the best for performance, precious metals just last far longer.

I'd use the original equipment AC Delco plug. Rockauto has them for $6.31 each, with a $3 per plug rebate offered.

At least with double iridium ACDELCO on the c5. It’s 100k intervals.

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.

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.

These look like knockoff acdelco plugs.
