Ready to race!
So I had noticed a slight hesitation/stutter under heavy load (3/4 - WOT) in 4th, and 6th gear specifically. First noticed it being just a single stutter, then over the weekend noticed it turn in to a few rapid ones and a small afterfire sound from the exhaust.
I broke out VCDS and ran some logs. Had misfires in cylinders 1 and 4 in those conditions (counters got up to around 5 or 6). Shuffled coil packs and no changes. Then shuffled spark plugs and bingo.
I've got NGK BKR7EIS in for my apr stage II mk6 GTI that are about 2.5 years old with 20k miles on them. My coil packs are red tops and are 8 years old with 60k on them.
Is 20k miles typical for a set of spark plugs or does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing abnormally high wear/premature failing of the plugs? Thanks in advance.
