Volkswagen Spark Plugs FAQ

How Can I Tell if My VW Spark Plugs are Bad?

You'll know it, for one, from your engine misfiring. The leads on the spark plugs may also appear to have widened or corroded. It may also seem like the plugs aren't conducting electricity as well.

How Much Does Replacing the Spark Plugs in a Volkswagen Cost?

According to RepairPal, anywhere from $215 to $280 or so on average. That's whether you get basic copper or higher-performance platinum or iridium, the kind that's good for 18,000 miles or 100,000. Getting them replaced at a VW service center can add another $130 to $170. Cost can even vary by Volkswagen model; spark plug replacement for a Jetta, for instance, may run $150 to $210 or more total.

Can I Change My Volkswagen Spark Plugs Myself?

Here's how, in most cases. Just be sure to grab some safety goggles and work gloves, plus the right tools (including a set of socket wrenches, a wire gauge spark plug gap tool, a socket swivel, anti-seize thread and dielectric silicone compound, and an extension bar), and start with a cool engine. Double-check your owner's manual for specifics on what to do.

How Can I Extend the Life of My Spark Plugs?

For one, clean them regularly -- wipe off debris with a cloth (or use compressed air to blast it off), scrape the firing ends with fine-grit sandpaper to remove crud, and use a wire brush to scrub the plugs' threads. You can also spray the plugs with brake cleaner and wipe them off.
