Spark plug Champion or OEM Volkswagen

Changing the spark plugs, spark plug wires, ignition coil and the coolant temperature sensor fixed the cold start issue.

Went in to find some non R plugs today. He popped the rabbit into the system and said "we've got Champion N11YC, non resistive in stock.

These are OEM plugs without the VW branding so cheaper, I run these in my stage 1 Mk7 GTi and they are good just need to gap them down quite a bit as out the box they are I think .32? I change them every 15,000km or every 2nd oil change

I got champion copper core for my 5.7 hemi which was what the factory had in it. I changed them at 68k and they probably could have gone another 68k they looked virtually new.Ran like a champ and I got them with rebates and at the end of the day they were 1.00 each.

I run Champion plugs in my Harleys. I have never had an issue with them and when I did try others, I never noticed any improvement over the Champions.

Champion are ok if you change them every 2000 miles, otherwise they tend to loosen up at the terminal and you end up having to retighten them on a rigid mount Harley every 500 miles or so.

Hope you screwed them in with the correct torque, unlike my VW dealer. They started to unscrew themselves and causing instant misfire and rpm drops to 200 and engine shutoff.

But yeah, switch to another brand and stop using champions.

So Champion sucks, more like Chumpian.

Some of my best vehicle purchases have been trucks with "misfires" or "engine issues" and almost all of those have had goddamn champion plugs in them, or a champion distributor.
