Spark plug Bosch or Autolite

If you care more about performance, or cheaper cost, get the autolite a103, or ar103. Those will give you the best performance, but they only last like 10k. But they’re also dirt cheap.

I just replaced my oem densos with some Bosch plugs that were labelled as being pregapped 1.1mm. I wanted them to be 1mm and checked with a gauge and Lo and behold they were already at 1mm. Whacked them in and improved my fuel consumption immediately.

I took it back in after setting the DPR to 2.5± 2.5 mA, checking again for any vacuum leaks, tightening down all the exhaust components, and changing out the spark plugs (again). I also checked the O2 sensor, it was fluctuating between .1v-.7v continuously.

To be honest the last plug VW went with , the 101905601F (OEM clones Bosch copper nickel FR7HE02 Or NGK ZFR6T-11G (5960) Copper Nickel, Beru BRU-Z272 copper nickel ) for the 2.5 is best. It’s one shade cooler and will have less spark knock. You have more timing.

I ended up leaving them as is and the car seems to be working fine.

I got misfires with FD5POR RS2 plugs. Almost 10000kms on Bosch f2cs this year. Been working perfect for me

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.

Never use the Bosch ones for the E46s. Just not working right

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.
