Title: OEM Spark Plugs
Post by: Juicetin on March 07, 2014, 09:00:16 am

Does anyone know what the standard replacement plugs are for a 2005 AXX engine code GTI?
My VW Dealer said they are Bosch Double Platinum , but stuff on the web suggests that these have now been superceded by NGK Iridium .
Can somebody confirm ?

They are the Bosch ones and are by far the best plug for the TFSi engine.

That's what I found when I replaced mine. I've got PFR7S8EG (NGK) ones in now, no issues.
