Happy to see a lot of DIY'ers here so I'll get right to it;
I'm new to VW these days and have 2,017 miles on the car as of today parking at work, a '17 Golf SportWagen, 4MOTION DSG.
I'm a bit confused by many comments I've seen about VW wanting to keep cost of ownership in line with the 10k OCI yet the spark plugs / coil packs have a life span of 40,000 miles per mfg recommended change ? I don't get it.
I don't know a lot about turbos but had an '08 CX-7 and now now a '16 CX-9 Mazda as turbo/s. Never knew of a plug change for vehicles in the past 35 years that was sub 60k or even 100k. Am I missing something ?
I see the DSG will require a service and seen costs mentioned of $350 or so, does anyone know the dealer menu price for the plugs/coil packs service just for reference sake ?
I'll follow the guidelines but OCI of 6 to 9 months or so in my case and or 5,000 to 6,500 probably. My previous investments were Rotella T-6 and NGK but I have no worry going with Casterol as directed. Are NGK plugs still somewhat favored by mechanics these days ?
* Thanks in advance if anyone has a strong suggestion or good history on any of this.
