Have '05 allroad 2.7t, been great.
Looking to change plugs? Recommendations on type? How difficult?
Thanks in advance.

pretty easy to do, pull the coilpacks and replace
stay with stock plugs unless you are chipped or have a reason to run a colder plug

What do you recommend if chipped? I still have the original plugs with 95k.

Thanks.

if chipped, it then depends on what chip you have

most stage 1 or 2 chips are still just fine, and actually tested, with the stock plug

while you are running more boost with them, the stock plug is actually well designed with a low resistance to allow it to spark quite well

if you really want to change your plugs often, and at 95k, you've gone about 55k too long, go with NGK BKR6E - they are a copper version of the stock plug. You can also go with the NGK BKR7E plugs, which are one range colder, but really no need. Understand, you'll probably have to change them every time you change your oil, though.

you have options for your plugs. aside from those already mentioned, there is a Bosch sidefire plug available. i think VAST sells it, but you'll have to double-check that. it seems to be attractive to people because you don't have to mess with the gap. so far, i haven't heard anything negative about them.

from what i gather, you can get longer life from these plugs if they are gapped correctly. it seems not many people do that before installing them.

You guys are killing me.

I placed an order from Blau the day before the first plug recommendation and threw plugs on it. Ugh.

I ordered the only one they listed, which is NGK6458 .

I asked about getting them changed a while back and the indi told me I didn't need to until 100k.

I assume the plugs I ordered will do. I know nothing about plugs.

that's the stock plug. the platinums are good for 40k miles, according to audi. i'd say 20k max, especially if chipped
