I have a stack of 25+ index cards filled with notes about the care and service of the car. The factory service manual has notes and highlighted areas all over it.
Replaced spark plugs with genuine VW Bosch units
Belated follow up. I replaced the plug at the distributer as the signal from the hall sender was intermittent. Brand new Bosch plugs were had for cheap.
So I grab a new ignition coil, and a full set (4) of spark plugs. The Pre-gapped BOSCH Iridium plugs were the same price as OEM platinum, so I figured that's fine for me.
After pulling the plugs, Cylinder 1 plug was definitely eroded. The other 3 plugs looked fine, but I might as well replace the lot. The new Ignition Coil went into Cylinder 1 as well, and I started it up.
Check engine light went off, starts up fine, drives fine, idles fine.
Yeah, I'd rather use some cheap BOSCH SUPERS or other $2 copper plug than any Autolite.
Sometimes you just have to try a few sets. I have a '97 Jetta which had NGK plugs in it for close to 4 years. I went through two sets of NGK plugs and couldn't get the car to run. I switched to Bosch and it started right up and ran fine.
I'm using the OEM Bosch spark plug. I gapped mine to 0.024" as per Bentley and the car seems to run fine.
Had bad bosh plugs before.
Never had a issue with OEM ac-delco or Ford plugs/parts.
Bosch is making crappy plugs these days.
Put the correct spark plugs in there (NGK BKUR6ET-10 for AEG), throw those Bosch +4 turds in the bin where they belong.
