How many spark plugs does a 1996 vw passat have?

I just got one of those diagnostic reports done at the dealership, since my check engine light went on . They said I need new spark plugs which they want to charge an arm and a leg for, when I can get them for $10 each at the most.How many spark plugs does a 1996 vw passat have?Four or six depending on which engine you have. Unless you have the turbo diesel in which case the answer is none. I would imagine the OE plug to be 10 - 15 dollars each.Labor depends on which engine. Our rate here is 70.00 per hour, so at a minimum you would need 4 plugs at 15.00 and minimum labor of 1 hour, although I would think it is more than 1 hour.



So 4 - 5 hundred dollars for a basic tune up, sounds right in line for a dealership. Perhaps you should consider an independant repair shop.How many spark plugs does a 1996 vw passat have?Depending on the engine it could be as few as 4 or as many as 8, normally passats have a 6cylinder engine which has 6 plugsHow many spark plugs does a 1996 vw passat have?are they charging too much for the plugs or does the quote include installation,you will have either 4 or 6 plugsHow many spark plugs does a 1996 vw passat have?Normally 4 but it depends on the on model, cause you get TDI - which is diesel and use different spark plugs, 1.6/2.0 L which are 4 cylinder cars and uses 4 spark plugs and then you get the V5 which off course has 5 cylinders and therefor uses 5 spark plugs.How many spark plugs does a 1996 vw passat have?In 1996 the passat came with three engines. The

2.0L Inline 4, the 2.8L V 6 and the 1.9L Inline 4.



If you have the 2.0 or 1.9L engine you will need 4 spark plugs. If you have the 2.8L V6 you will require 6.



Sometimes the cost of replacing spark plugs is in the labour involved in changing them. I am not sure about the passat but I do know that some engines have to be lifted in order to change the plugs.How many spark plugs does a 1996 vw passat have?I believe the Passat of this vintage uses regular %26quot;resistor%26quot; spark plugs which can be had anywhere for $2-3.00 each. It's been a while since I've seen a tune up on a VR6 of this age so I don't recall how much fun it is to get at the plugs but V6 labor on a FWD vehicle is usually at least an hour.
