Spark plug Champion or OEM Volkswagen

I’ve been running champion plugs for about 40k mi without issue.

I just changed my plugs at 75,000 miles...I was impressed as to how clean the plugs were and the color. Looks good. The gap was still .030 as the new ones were (VW 06K905601K). Definitely could have gone much longer but it's an easy replacement.

I used champion spark plugs.. no problems here

I put a new battery in it. Because it needed one but then I changed the spark blood wires and it now acts like a brand new car, so go to your spark plugs first.

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 have measured resistance above 5k and determined the plug to be causing a problem. Typical resistance is 1-3 kOhm, sometimes less for a new one.

I won't run champion plugs in anything but lawn mowers. That's the only thing I've put them in that didn't get angry about it. Guess everybody's vehicles are different, but personally I don't think they're very good plugs.

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.

Champion spark plugs are rubbish, not sure why they’re even sold.
