NGK Spark Plug P/N:5468
NGK 2890 spark plug for the 1994-2002 Volkswagen Jetta V6 2.8L and other vehicles fires the fuel mixture in each cylinder. Among NGK spark plugs, this one belongs to the Laser Platinum line, which gives stable idling and lower emissions.
Hard starting, a rough idle or a misfire can mean a plug is worn, though an ignition coil or a fuel injector can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before you replace plugs.
The vehicles it fits include the 1994-2002 Volkswagen Jetta V6 2.8L, the 1995-2002 Volkswagen Golf V6 2.8L and, as a VW Passat spark plug, the 1993-1997 Volkswagen Passat V6 2.8L. If your car is not named here, look it up on the Buyer's Guide tab.
