Going to be changing the spark plugs myself and found they cost £13 each on CarParts4Less

Anyone know of anywhere different for cheaper?

eBay show Bosch plugs for £6 each
Does it matter which manufacture? Im guessing all plugs are the same?

Thanks!

Originals are made by Denso arent they?

Have you asked for a price from the dealers?

NGK BKR7EIX are good, & £6.25 each delivered

Just took a look. £17.45+vat retail per plug, so thats probably about right

They are NGK normally

Those should be fine - if yours has a CAVE or CAVF block.

How will i know what block ive got?

Also, can anyone send me a screen shot of the program showing me how to remove them?
They look obstructed but want to see what VW say :)
If that makes sense

Whats your reg?

And to remove them, you have to pull the coil packs up with a 'tool' or some bent wire to hook them out.
