Review on πŸ”₯ NGK PFR6Q Laser Platinum Spark Plug: Enhanced Performance for Optimal Ignition - Single Pack by Kevin Caldwell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Spark Plug NGK (6458) PFR6Q Laser Platinum almost identical to the original factory spark plugs for 02 VW Jetta GLS 1.8t

I bought four of these spark plugs to replace the OEM spark plugs on mine 2002 VW Jetta year of manufacture with 1.8 ton engine. The only difference I've seen between the original spark plugs I had in my car and these is that they don't have the Audi logo on the white part of the plugs. I had to adjust the spark plug gap; which is equal to 0.32 for these candles. I bought my car used and it currently has 150,000 miles so I don't know when the spark plugs were last changed. I decided to change them when the engine started to idle a bit rough. In addition to replacing the candles, I replaced the valve cover gaskets and the valve cover spark plug holes. I did this because the cap was a slow leak and gave off a burning oil smell from time to time (when oil was dripping onto the exhaust). Fel-Pro valve cover kit VS50531R: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C2CNII/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I cleaned the spark plug coil pack connector due to oil leakage. from leaking pads. Before installing the plugs, I added anti-seize grease to the threads and dielectric grease to the rubber part that contacts the plugs. On the top of the coil, which is next to the valve cover, I applied a light coat of Super Lube Synthetic Grease with Syncolon Multi Purpose Lubricant 3 oz (also sourced from Revain). started quickly and ran smoothly. I still feel stuttering at times but I think I have a coil pack that is slowly starting to fail. Candles are excellent though! I've done a lot of research on spark plug options for the 1.8t engine and from what I've read I've decided to buy an Original Equipment (OEM) spark plug as the engine was designed for it. .OEM connector at a good price. I highly recommend! Just remember to set the spacing - don't trust what comes in the box even if the electrodes are protected in the box. (applies to all plugs, not just this brand)

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
