Bosch should be the safest choice for German cars, but avoid their gimmicky "Plus 4" plugs that have 4 ground electrodes, unless that's what the car came with from the factory.
Bosch provides OE for VW spark plugs. Plug your vehicle into autozone and just buy the bosch ones. They come pregapped.
Got new NGK BKR8EIX pugs today and gapped them to 0.024". Originally, 0.030" according to my gauge. Very surprised when I removed the old plugs as they were all at varying degrees of tightness even though they were originally torqued to 25NM. Car runs great with the new plugs. No complaints so far.
I installed 2 remaining NGK that I had into cylinders 2, 4. Vehicle is running like new right now.
I had 2 spare, new spark plugs and these got rid of the misfires in cyls 2 and 4.
I ***always*** use NGK spark plugs after I tried a set of Champion plugs in my old GT380, and two of them failed after 1,500 miles. NGKs have never let me down in 35+ years of riding.
Just use NGK and put them in dry, never had a problem.
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.
Bought Bosch platinum's and red bremi wires. swap everything all out, the misfires alot worse.
Personally I've never had any luck with ngk's in any of my vr's always just run Bosch plugs and wires....
