Spark plug BRISK or OEM Volkswagen

Some people swear by the Brisk plugs, but I'd spend that coil money on either the Denso or NGK plugs that EQT recommends.

2015 Passat 1.8L TSI 170,00 miles. De-carboned the combustion chambers and cleaned the spark plugs. Resolved slow response to accelerate. No oil consumption after 3k miles so far.

Ive tried other plugs that are oem spec but not from VW and I like the way the oem plugs work better.

I love my brisk spark plugs from EMS. Definitely better for me than the NGKs I ran. Last longer and don’t open up as fast.

If you’re buying a used VW. This is the easiest one (Polo) to maintain.

1. Figure their parts change and maintenance schedules and follow. Check oil cap for oil type to use (15-20k is fine).

2. Always check oil hoses, rubber seals and gaskets (40-70k).

3. Change engine bushings (100k), chassis bushings (50k), transmission bushings (100k) for first time used buyer.

4. Check condition of all parts above before change, also include spark plugs. Stick to German OEM plugs (50k).

The ER12S look better than the OEM units that came out on the first change, these have been in for a year.

I've ran these for a few years stage 2 e85, with absolutely no issue at all. The last year and a half I've been running a bigger turbo, powermax 2260 and have had zero issues

What plugs you're using may help. In my experience not all plugs are created equal. Brisk, for example, last maybe 5-10k miles before they're garbage. Whereas I can run NGKs for 15k+.

Brisk silver er10s if you need 2 steps colder. I had the ngk plugs, but they wore down just as fast and are more expensive. Brisk silver are like 10 bucks

I just came across a recent problem while doing my spark plugs at 80,000 miles. The dealership was the one that did my spark plugs at 40,000 miles. Sure enough, they broke Cylinder 3\u2019s wiring harness connector to the coil pack and stripped the bolt. I had to helicoil the bolt, replace the connector, and repin the connector.
