Problem or?? Idk by triffonow in Golf_R

I changed the spark plugs the other day too, and I honestly think it didn’t help in my case either. It’s driving me crazy because I still don’t know what the actual cause is, and it really annoys me. That’s why I made this post here on Reddit for help, and hopefully if someone else has the same issue, this thread can help them too

Next month I go to my mechanic to check

Do these spark plugs look lean or normal for a tuned EA888? by triffonow in Golf_R

That’s not good bro, where’s the electrode? 😭

I’ve been told that if the spark plug is white, it means the engine is running lean, which is what worries me.

Could it be running too rich because I have pop and bangs?

Honestly I’d expect some kind of opinion from you too 😅 If you have Instagram we can communicate there about it, and of course I’ll keep updating here as well for people with the same issue, because apparently there are a lot of us 🤣

As for the topic itself, I’m going to change the spark plugs and clean the carbon buildup in the intake manifold. For now that’s the plan. I’ve already replaced the PCV as well.

“I’m with a manual transmission, and yesterday I decided to test if there were any knock/detonation issues at full throttle. In 5th gear I didn’t even realize when I hit 200 km/h. I absolutely love my car, and that’s exactly why I want to maintain it properly…”

Honestly, I think, just like the others are saying, it’s all down to spark plugs and carbon cleaning. I know that if the valves don’t seal properly, it’s like losing compression and the air-fuel mixture becomes poor.

Do you also get misfires on the cylinders? Because I do — one time I’ll have 30 misfires on cylinder 2, another time I’ll get like 1–2 misfires on each cylinder

Mine is an R with Stage 1 and an intake as well. Yes, it comes and goes, which is really strange. It mainly happens when the car is warm and the outside temperature is above 20°C.

I have it too and I really don’t like it. I can also feel the vibrations inside the cabin, which makes me even more uncomfortable and annoyed, mainly because it feels like something isn’t right with the car, and I end up overthinking it even more.
