Spark plug Autolite or OEM Volkswagen

I now have the new plugs which are autolite gapped at .027 as it is suggested by autolite and also in the Bentley book.

Just changed out the original plugs in my 2014 Ed30 GLi at 58K and totally agree with the other observations here. The idling has improved tremendously and the general over all performance of the car is back where it should be.

The truck is currently using Autolite XP5245 iridiums. Normally I would go with something from NGK but I figured if the Autolites were a decent price I would get them and they would probably last the life of the truck

If its just painted like some cheap plugs such as some autolites then yes its needed.

autolites 3923 platinumsgave me the same mpg as the expensive NGK platinum.....

Auto lights are trash, Bosch too. I can’t tell you how many times I get a misfire diag that the customer already put plugs in, only to find the garbage auto lights are the issue. A set of oem plugs always fixes it

I replaced the original ac Delco spark plugs (shown in picture, THEY LOOK BAD) and put with new auto light ones and changed the wire as well. However, after doing so, my truck has been running really rough, almost like it's cammed and misfiring, when its rolling in drive it like to have a little shake.

As long as it’s not auto lite plugs you should be good. I’ve seen those things hinder 3 separate rigs from running right. Once one cracked 100 miles after installing them, half way through a trip we had to sop at autozone and replace plugs

Don't even think the Autolite or Bosch last as long as Denso/NGK spark plugs.

autolites were fine 100 years ago

now stick with NGK or whatever OEM was. its not worth it to be fudging around and what little your gonna save may be burned up in less MPG using some other plug.
