A4 Spark Plugs and Gap Setting

[tancoman]

Hiyaaa.

I am in the process of servicing my 1998 S-Reg 1.8L petrol Audi A4 and am in need of a little help on which spark plugs to order and at what gap they should be set.

Please let me know which NGK spark plug I need to order from the list and what the gap should be, thanks.

Help much appreciated pals.

hi shadowman.

Thanks for the info. What would that be in mm then? Do you know.

What do you recommend? Going for a bigger or smaller gap. What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of each, if any. Does anybody know?

Sorry, so many questions but i have often wondered about this.

I am not sure of the measurement in Mm. I bought a Gapper at Lordco. You can get them at any parts store though. I am not sure of the top of my head what the advantage is technically speaking. However i have been told it will help with the performance as it is firing at a proper level when gapped correctly.

My new Ignition coils are arriving this week as well as my upper control arms. I bought them from an Ebay Store called ABC parts.
Really good prices on most items you'll need.

If this is of help great if not please let meknow and my apolgies for not getting back to you sooner.Work schedule has been crazy.
