    Quick facts

    • Part: NGK 1961 spark plug
    • Fits: 2012-2018 Volkswagen Passat V6 3.6L and other vehicles

    Worn plugs can show up as hard starting, a rough idle or a misfire under load. Before you replace plugs for any of these, rule out a weak ignition coil or an air leak first, since either may also bring on those symptoms.

    Fits

    The 2012-2018 Volkswagen Passat V6 3.6L and the 2007-2010 Audi Q7 V6 3.6L each take six of these plugs. It is also the spark plug for the 2008-2010 Porsche Cayenne V6 3.6L, which takes six too, and it fits more vehicles. If your car is not one of these, look up its make, model and year under the "Vehicles it fits" section.
