VW Jetta Spark plug replacement 2.0L

[@AhmedAli-rg9iu]

Hi Shezi, do you recommend going to iridium plugs on a 2015 VW Jetta 2.0L gas sohc.? I was having engine misfire & flashing check engine light sometimes when I was driving and accelerating, so I replaced my spark plugs, spark plug wires and ignition coil as well. Instead of putting in Bosch FR7HE02 which I saw in couple of youtube videos and which are Nickel plugs, I put in NGK ZFR6FIX-11 which are Iridium plugs, Also I replaced the wires with Denso Ignition wire set and Ignition Coil with NGK Ignition Coil. I don't have engine misfire or flashing check engine light anymore but I can hear like a sparking sound after some time when the engine starts. Do you know where I went wrong? Also in some videos they say the recommended gap is .043 but this video says OEM gap is .032 I'm so confused because I ordered the plugs with a gap of .044 Please advise

[@SheziMotorsport]

@ahmedali-rg9iu - can you ensure gap was appropriate? Have you checked which one is misfiring maybe bad wiring or coil even if they are new

[@SheziMotorsport]

From my research I found the happy to be. 032 unless you have turbo then it's different. German card are notorious for throwing it errors it act certain way for small things. I would try to use Bosch if the sound or issue remains

Hi, how about torque?

[@bassilkhoury1326]

Great vid. thank you! Do you know what size gap to use for the spark plug, is it .043?

[@SheziMotorsport]

@ basil khoury - thank you. VW recommend .032 for the 4cyl non turbo.

What is the gap for jetta 2.0 2012 been looking for that gap specs?

[@SheziMotorsport]

@juan soriano - it should be same as the engine is same from 2011 to 2016 I believe.

[@DESPYS1LOSTCITY]

@@SheziMotorsport what is the gap i tried 45 and now 35 and it runns normal now

[@SheziMotorsport]

@jyan soriano - the gap should be around 24-32 if I'm not mistaken for 2.0 non turbo engine.

[@CrazyCanuck75]

Did this fix your misfire codes?

[@SheziMotorsport]

@T. Sherlock - yes replacing the plugs resolved the misfire issues..

[@CrazyCanuck75]

Glad it went away for you by changing the plugs. I had to change the coil pack and the plugs to get rid of it

[@SheziMotorsport]

@t. Sherlock - sorry to hear. I can only imagine car get miles, I might run into that issue.

[@TheYugoKid]

@@CrazyCanuck75 Same issue. I replaced the plugs hoping that would be it but unfortunately check engine came back. About to replace the coil pack and pray I don't need to change the plugs again.

[@anthonyvaladez4142]

Man I changed the plugs the wires and the coil pack and still shaking if not worst smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@DroidMastertaylor-gang-or-die]

is there any codes with the obd2 scanner? i replaced my cam position sensor & my car doesn’t stutter/shake anymore

[@SheziMotorsport]

@Droid Master - what codes are you referring to? So sensors were bad and issue resolved?

[@DroidMastertaylor-gang-or-die]

@@SheziMotorsport Code : P0343. It said my sensor was going bad so i replaced it. But then i still had a lil bit of issues so i ended up changing the coil pack & now everything runs great.

Probably a fuel injector

@@ricoberrios9638 Yeah that's what happened to my 2014 2.0 Jetta at only 42k km.
