Bosch Super 4s are very good. I have them in mine and no problems at all.

NGK ones are very good, but to be fair, Id just get genuine VW ones. They are superb quality, reasonably priced, and are made by NGK!

Found my engine code which is AKK/AUD but it is so hard to find spark plugs for that engine!

I've found 2 Denso branded one's which i heard Denso are good but I'm stuck between two as the site doesn't tell me much details..

or

One's slightly more expensive than the other but isit worth it??
Please advise, want to order before 3pm to get next day delivery :D

They look identical to be fair. Have you got a halfords local? They do a relatively decent range and have a good comparison chart to find out whats for your car.
