    Made the mistake of starting my 02 2.8 at idle for just 30 seconds on a 28 degree night. Next morning it cranked but would not start. At first it acted like it was misfiring (out of time) after repeated attempts it began trying to start and once it ran on for 5 seconds after lots of cranking...

    I'm searching for Bosch spark plugs for my 2008 Passat 3.6L. Does anyone know the Bosch part number? Or a recommended plug for that engine. The local VW dealership recommended Bosch. I've found NGK, Denso, Pulstar (Never heard of Pulstar).
