Hi, I was just wondering at what mileage the spark plugs should be changed on a MK5 GTI?
My car went in for servicing last week and I noticed they didn't change the plugs. I thought this was odd as my car has done 70k miles and looking in the servicing book they appear to never have been changed. When I queried it with the person on the servicing desk they said they'd checked with the mechanic and they advised they needed changing at 80k. However in my servicing book it advises 60k for 2 litre TFSI engines.
Anyone know which is correct?
For the price of four plugs maybe it's an idea to just replace them for peace of mind.
When I bought mine I nailed down the big bits, in terms of what I saw receipts for etc, and then anything else - things I'd deem as consumables, like plugs, DV etc - I just renewed. It's a few quid and then it's done.
Unless you're tuned the OEM Bosch plugs are what you want.
