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 ????

Pros: problem entirely went away
Cons: spark plug was toasted
Mileage: 179000 km

I always had issues when I used any plugs other than Bosch Iridium or Platinum. You can even try Bosch copper plugs if you find the right heat and size. They're usually cheaper and better, but don't last very long... like 10k miles.

Pros: cheaper and better
Cons: don't last long

So the new set of plugs arrived, so switched out them along with new wires, since two broke during work (Magneti Marelli) and since I already tested and bought a new coil pack basically the whole ignition system's now revamped.

So far after more than two hours of driving, no problems, but Im really careful since I dont wan to find out Im wrong, but it feels ok.

The old plugs where NGK, and after pulling them, their resistance measured on average about 4 kohms.

I kept the previous set, which where Beru's and they measured ~1.4 kohms.

The new set is Bosch, and Im going to stay away from NGKs since I drive a little bit sporty, lasted less than two years, and (I think) 20'000 km.

Pros: no problems after revamp
Cons: NGKs lasted less
Mileage: 20000 km

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.

Cons: rough idle, misfire code
Mileage: 160934 km

I have solved so many drivability problems taking Bosch plugs out of misfiring engines.

Cons: drivability problems, misfiring engines

In my experience, Bosch spark plugs are always terrible; fouling out within a month, that kind of thing...

Cons: fouling out within month

Worst case of electrode wear I've seen was on a set of Bosch 3-electrode plugs in a VR6. Plugs were so far gone, that five of six had triangular shaped center electrodes. Really thought I was gonna gall the head threads they'd been in so long.

Cons: worst electrode wear, triangular electrodes
Vehicle: Volkswagen
