Just in case you did get that far, but could not get to the plugs due to the
depth which is too narrow for some deep sockets (my craftsman socket did not
fit inside the deep recess), I had to use the OEM spark plug wrench that is
the opposite end of the lug wrench in the OEM toolkit. Hopefully the 93 S4
has the same toolkit as the 95 S6.
