I just had my mechanic pull a set of autolite platinum plugs out of my beetle.he replaced them with Bosch platinum spark plugs and it was a huge difference for me. Car runs smoother and has a little more power with the better plugs. The autolite were fairly new too.
'01 Turbo original spark plugs vs ???
Anyone know of any issues using the Autolight APP3923 Double Platinum (what most lists call for) in a '01 Turbo vs the original Bosch. I've been told the original was Bosch. I was having some other work done and an independent shop told me I had the wrong plug in the car (the Autolight). Thanks.

I suggest you to try NGK brand plugs. Iridium version 8 will be perfect. I'm changing them in every 4K miles. I'm using Methanol and Ethanol that's why. Otherwise you can use them for 8K miles.
I use Bosch in my VWs. I use Delco in my GM V8s. I would never use Bosch in a GM, and would never use Delco in a VW.
NGK plugs are definitely a must. BKR6ES are good for stock to mildly modded applications. The 8ES is better suited for higher boost applications.
I use NGK BKR7E plugs gap @ 0.28 it's a copper core plug and I change them every 10k miles so every other oil change. They only cost $7.00 for a set of 4. Why because you are not suppose to gap platinum plugs and my 04 Turbo S likes a cooler spark.
