Spark Plug Sorted: A Kiwi Guide (Starring BOSCH)
> Spark plugs: tiny sparky legends in your engine. They light the fuel mix, and when they're past it – especially in a gutsy V6 like your VW Golf R32 or Audi A3 – things go pear-shaped. Think rough running and a thirstier engine.
Spotting Dodgy Spark Plugs
• Lumpy idling or missing a beat, especially if you've got a V6.
• Feels like it's lost its mojo when you put your foot down.
• Suddenly you're using more gas than a V8 at the drags.
• Hard to crank over, especially on a frosty morning.
• That pesky engine light's lit up on the dash.
WOF Woes?
Dodgy spark plugs mean more emissions. And more emissions means a big fat fail at WOF time. No one wants that!
DIY or Pay a Pro?
Skill Level: 6/10 (just a bit fiddly)

Gear You'll Need: Spark plug socket, ratchet, extension bar, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Engines get hot, so ensure it's stone cold before you start poking around. Wear safety glasses to stop any crud flicking in your eyes.
• Keep it Clean: A can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate for blasting away any oily grime around the plug holes before you pull the old ones out. Stops muck falling into the cylinders.
• Glove Up: Keep your mitts clean with a set of Nitrile Gloves. No one likes greasy fingerprints all over the show.
• The Right Gap!: Double-check the spark plug gap with your gap tool. This is vital for optimal spark. Your car's manual will tell you what it should be.
Expert Tip
Swapping out your spark plugs keeps your engine purring and saves you money at the pump, especially with a V6. Pop into Bob's Shop, and we'll sort you out with the right ones for your Volkswagen or Audi.
Important Fitment Note
Make sure you grab the right spark plug for your exact engine. Some V6s are a bit fussy. Check your car's handbook or ask Bob at CARFIX to be sure.
