He was at 45k miles a bunch of that tuned on the plugs that came from the factory
Don't be scared of tuning...
While I agree plugs should have been changed regardless (I put in a fresh set of Ruths when I tuned my car), I don't think not changing plugs could cause full engine failure like this, could it?
is it recommended on changing the factory plugs when you tune?He was at 45k miles a bunch of that tuned on the plugs that came from the factory

Not really but why wouldnt you? Ruths are like 20 bucks and you absolutely need to cut your service intervals in half. The plugs should be changed every 20kis it recommended on changing the factory plugs when you tune?

What is with that 20k bid from your dealer though? I literally just saw The tech at my vw dealer Change out a engine from 2018 golf R that money shifted it to 11,000 rpm and the guys bill was like $11,500. And that was for an “R” motor with an is38.
yup! I met the owner last week actually, very nice lady I think she works at the vw dealer on Sahara... said only 19 ended up getting made/ordered in that color.Ouchy. Money shift.
On a similar note, I finally saw a golf R on the road here - I know people in other places say they are common but I've never seen one in the two years I've been paying attention.
Also, it was hard to miss because it was one of the spectrum colors - lime green, with hyperblack wheels no less. My God it was beautiful.
I was in stopped traffic on 215 west near Buffalo and it passed in another lane. No chance to get near it for a closer look/to murder the driver and take it.
Have you seen it around?
