NGK (57435) RC-VWC032 Spark Plug Wire Set

I'll buy them for all my dubs

These plugs fit tight and snug over the spark plug end with no wiggle. Unlike Bosch and other brands. Fits perfectly for Air Cooled VWs. I felt a noticeable smoother idle and the spark plugs wires I had before were only 2 years old.

The numbers on the cable were not correct but the spark doesn't know that. As long as you aren't blind you should be able to do this yourself and save some money up to buy that carburetor you always wanted

Pros:* Aren't chewed up by squirrels like the wires I am replacing them with* Fit snug* Solid construction* Provide consistent spark to the plugs* 5 stars from a functionality perspective. They do exactly what you expect.Cons:* The plugs come labeled with a 1-4 which would seem to indicate which cylinder to connect them to. However, for an aircooled VW engine, they're backwards. The shortest wires are labeled 1 and 2, and the longest 3 and 4. For an ACVW the long wires are 1 and 2 and the short wires are 3 and 4. The distributor is on the 3/4 bank of the engine so the longer wires need to go to 1 and 2 on the opposite side. This has no functional impact at all, but if someone's specifically buying these for a bug, they're going to be very confused when their plug wires don't reach if they're inexperienced. Minus 1 star for that.

I will say the coil wire was too short, so I used the old one. But, that's because my coil isn't in the stock location. Now, a lot of people are complaining that the wires are numbered wrong. Really? Who looks at the numbers? The two shortest wires are on the side closest to the coil. The two longest on the opposite side. Good grief people!Purchased on year ago. Replace today with Duralast plug wires. I issues with these wires from the gitgo but I kept thinking: their new, this can't be the problem. So a year ago I put these on my VW, the following day the car wouldn't start in the morning without cranking the engine for several minutes while pumping the gas pedal. I couldn't imagine just adding new plug wires would cause that to happen. The VW luckily isn't my daily driver. Over the past year, I added new plugs, played with different carb settings. I have an electronic ignition, so not a point problem or timing issue, but I looked at that too. The last month the VW has been running erratic, some days running fine, other days not so fine. This morning I decided to start pulling wires out of the distributor while the car was running. Two of the four wires had no affect on the idle speed when I pulled them out. I replaced them with the Duralast wires this evening. Now it's running like the proverbial stripped butt mule. I noticed that these NGK wires are made in Mexico, so are the Duralast. I hope I don't have the same issue with them.

I loke the wires. Fits my vehicle. Do not go by the numbers applied on the wire. They were all wrong except the rotor wire

This is a really nice set of high-tech plug wires. Almost as low resistance as copper wires, but with low EM interference. They're made to fit on plugs without the terminal end connectors. The only thing that was bad about these wires is the labeling tape that was applied to indicate which cylinder the wire went to was completely backwards. If you lay them out like always and go longest to shortest 1-2-3-4, they fit perfectly. Connectors that fit on your coil and distributor cap are super snug. These will not budge easily once installed. I recommend only installing on a new distributor cap, so you won't need to take them on and off for a long time.
