[A4] Spark plugs for 00 A4?

[Chris Reed]

Just go to sparkplugs.com and see what they list as being stock for the '00
A4 1.8t.

Either buy them there or head to your local autozone. There are no
performance gains to be gained via special plugs on the 1.8t or the 2.8 for
that matter.

On my '00 1.8t I use NGK BKR6E-11 gapped to .030". They cost about $2.00ea.
