Andrew,

Would you please post the Bosch spark plug part number.  My mechanic just
charged me $30+ for plugs and I need to know if he is blowing smoke...
He's been pretty good on price for everything else so I'm a little surprised.
He's able to compete with most on genuine Audi/VW parts.

Thanks in advance.

-Robert.
