I work at a parts store and I won't sell people bosch plugs unless they really want them. The reason is that I have had enough people come in with problems. I think in some german cars they work fine, but I have just had too many people come in and say they just put them in their car and it ran worse than with the old plugs. Stick with the delco iridium or get an ngk iridium. I have never had a complaint when someone goes with either one of those.

I guess when you put it that way Shack, everybody should immediately replace there current plugs with Bosh Platinum +4's!  lol Bosch plugs work the best in the German cars. Don't get me started on them. I did my first T-Belt on a 1.8 turbo Passat the other day along with a turbo. $4,000 (yes thats 4 grand) later the customer was back on the road. By the way if the T-belt brakes on one of these (and they do right about 90k) it will run you about $5,000 to get it running again!

Reminds me of the Mercury Mercur. I worked at a dealer where it was "our" specialty. What a bomb of a car that was. I think that was Fords try with German thoughts  .
