Spark plug OEM Audi or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I’ve had an APR stage 1 ECU tune on my 2017 GTI since 2020 with zero issues. I don’t track it. Just change plugs every 20k miles and have VW use OEM plugs.
Pros: zero issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 32186 km
I changed the spark plugs in my nieces 2.5L VW Jetta because it was idling at 1300rpm. Rock solid idle at 700rpm afterwards. Easy way to save some gas.
Pros: rock solid idle
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Changing the spark plugs, spark plug wires, ignition coil and the coolant temperature sensor fixed the cold start issue.
Pros: fixed the cold start
Vehicle:

Pros: very easy, zero issues

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
Pros: good, cheaper than OEM
Cons: need to gap them down
