I always hear everyone pushing bosch plugs. Are they really that good? What is so great about them.

your VW was made for them...will champion work? Yes.... will other types work...yes..... It is like eating "Fruit Rings" made by your local grocery store...."Froot Loops" by Kelloggs, just taste better....Bosch for your VW runs better. It is like putting Brasil parts in your bug...German parts just feel better and last longer....

well let me tell you what my local VW guru told me and so far he has been correct with everything else the heads on a VW are cut one way and the bosch plugs are cut the same way the threads on the bosch plugs are cut very sharp on other they have a little bit rounder edges on the threads so they just fit better because they are made for that thread.

hope this was some help

Bosch plugs have rolled threads.. they are not cut threads... that reminds me - i get my bosch pension in may 2005 4/69-4/99 :D 30 years turn 62 in may.....
