Spark plug Bosch or BERU

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.

As long as the Bosch ones match the factory specs then I’m sure they are fine as many other parts and sensors on these cars are made by Bosch.

Update: went Bosch for the plugs and ngk for the coils, the manufacturer plugs and coils were still in as if no one has touched them since the car was bought, I’m the third owner I believe. Each spark plug was toasted, easily double the recommended gap, and once I put the first two coils in (pulled code P0300, P0301,P0302) the problem entirely went away (coughing and sputtering exhaust, slow to accelerate, car shaking between 20-40 mph, rough starts) so I knew it was a go ahead for the rest of the coils. Feels like a whole new car all around, I can tell the engine is thanking me by what she’s putting out now ????

The best plug I found for a shovel is a Bosch Platinum WR8DP.

Just got a Jetta again - 2010 Limited Edition just shy of 100K miles and I've got one problem with it. From a cold start, usually in the morning, the 1st 10-15 seconds run rough before settling down to idle.

I have never seen any real large difference in NGK, Denso, and Champion if the proper heat range/type plug was used.

I'm not a fan of the old platinum Bosch design or regular autolite.

This is why I don't use Bosch plugs. It goes back to the quad fire plugs with a platinum center electrode that would fall out.

Long story short: changed spark plugs 4000km ago as per my 2019 Hyundai Kona 1.6t manual. Followed Service manual, and the recommended torque on the side of the box of the Bosch (non OEM) replacement, 17 ftlbs.

Grounding electrode on plug #3 failed, destroying 2 valves and marking up the cylinder wall.

I just put Bosch plugs in my 13 Veloster turbo and got 300 miles and it started missing replaced with the ngks no issue since
