Problem for me, the dealership has both NGK and Bosch ones for sale at more/less the same price. |
It's not about cost. You could go throwing all the work of swapping them and NGK might not run as well in this car. When they tuned the 1M they did it with Bosch plugs. When I swapped I wasn't trying to save money just Bosch was available and didn't think it would matter. But it did. Several times now
