Genuine Spark Plug 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3 – 06K905601L
This is the genuine OE spark plug for VW Group 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3 engines, supplied under part number 06K905601L. It is a direct replacement for the plug your car was originally fitted with from the factory, matching the correct heat range, thread size and seat design.
Sold individually. Please add the correct number of plugs for your engine to your cart (most 4-cylinder engines require 4).
What this spark plug does
The spark plug sits in the cylinder head and ignites the air and fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. A clean, strong spark is essential for smooth running, easy starting and consistent power delivery. On turbocharged engines like the EA888, spark quality has an even greater effect on how the engine feels under load.
This genuine plug is built to the same specification as the original part. It is suitable for standard cars and mild to moderately tuned engines that remain on the stock heat range.
Why it matters for performance and reliability
- Helps maintain a smooth idle and clean running
- Supports consistent power delivery and throttle response
- Reduces misfires when paired with healthy ignition coils and the correct gap
- Designed to handle the combustion conditions of EA888 Gen 3 2.0 TSI engines
Worn plugs are a common cause of misfires, hesitation and rough running, particularly on turbocharged engines. Replacing them at the manufacturer’s recommended service interval helps protect the coils, catalytic converter and overall engine performance.

This spark plug fits a wide range of VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda models running the 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3 engine, including popular performance variants such as the VW Golf GTI and R, Audi A3/S3 and equivalent platforms.
