RE: spark plugs

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

It could very well be that Audi decided to change its recommended spark plug
to the hotter one in 1991.  I don't have my owner's manual here to confirm
this, but as I'll be doing the plugs/rotors/caps myself soon I'll check it
out.
