Spark plug BERU or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Spark plug

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.

Pros: nothing super expensive
Mileage: 125000 km

Yup, these are great. Just be sure you gap them to APR's recommended gap of 0.024" ±0.002" or 0.6mm ±0.05mm. If you want 1 step colder plugs, not needed on your setup, but if you do for the future in Stage 2+. For 10$ more than the OEM NGK you can get the BERU.

Pros: great, step colder plugs

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.

Pros: idling improved tremendously

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
